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.
