## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Superannuation](https://ailawframework.com/practice/superannuation.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List what Opinion 512 says about checking output, candour to a tribunal, and court disclosure. Do not name a court's own rule. |
| What the lawyer must review | Opinion 512 says a lawyer must not file generated text that has not been checked, must not make a false statement to a tribunal, and must find out whether the forum requires disclosure of the tool. Model Rule 3.3 forbids a false statement of fact or law and forbids offering evidence known to be false. No particular court's rule was opened, so do not tell a complainant that a named court requires a certificate or forbids the tool. You read that court's rule. The explanation you give the complainant is yours. |
