Set the victims time limit where there is more than one act of violence
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the dates the lawyer marks, list each act, its date, and whether the lawyer has marked it as related to the others. Do not pick the date that starts time and do not write an explanation for a late application.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides which acts are related and which date starts the time limit.
- Use the rule for the payment type. One clock does not fit every payment.
- Do not write the explanation for a late application. That is a separate piece of work.
- An omitted act may not be paid for later. The lawyer decides what is included.
