Used for these tasks

Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.

How AI may be used

AI may check a draft against the current form and list gaps or the wrong form. The lawyer writes the grounds or indorsement and checks every filing.

AI may

  • Check the draft against the current official form and list blank fields, missing attachments and inconsistent party names
  • Flag when the proceeding looks like a different originating process that uses another form
  • List the copies, layout and registry details stated on the court page that was opened

AI must not

  • Must not draft the indorsement, statement of claim, grounds or any affidavit
  • Must not decide which court has jurisdiction, the monetary limit, or whether the claim is in time
  • Must not sign, file or serve the document

The lawyer checks

  • The current form is the one prescribed for this kind of proceeding in this court
  • Parties, court heading and relief match the instructions
  • Any pre-action step, fee and practice direction is checked against the current rules
  • Any practice direction about generative tools is checked. None was stated on the page opened for this guide.

Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
