Steps or checks to work through and tick off. - Practice area: [Commercial Litigation & Dispute Resolution](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/commercial-litigation-and-dispute-resolution.md) - Jurisdictions: Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland - AI level: Red. Keep AI out of the decisive steps. A lawyer does the work. - Law stated as at: 2026-10-17 - Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-10-17 against the 11 authorities it cites, for 4 jurisdictions. ## When to use it Use before filing or serving any pleading, submission, chronology, list of documents, affidavit or expert report in an Australian court where anyone in the team used a generative AI tool, and for every affidavit or witness statement filed in a NSW court (which must state that Gen AI was not used). Read the court's current practice note on the day; this kit does not replace it. ## How AI may be used Verification is lawyer-led. AI may extract citations, quotations and evidence references from a draft into a checking table, but a person must check each one against the primary source. Asking an AI tool to confirm its own or another tool's output is not verification. **AI may:** - Extract every citation, pinpoint, quotation and evidence reference from a draft into a checking table - Flag citation-format inconsistencies and references that do not match the court book index - Compile, from the matter's AI-use log, a list of the paragraphs where AI was used, for the lawyer to confirm **AI must not:** - Must not be used to confirm that an authority exists or says what is claimed - Must not draft, alter or rephrase the content of an affidavit, witness statement or character reference - Must not prepare any part of an expert report for a NSW court unless the court has given leave - Must not be given suppressed, subpoenaed or compulsorily produced material unless the court's conditions are met **The lawyer checks:** - Each authority was read in an authorised report or official register and supports the proposition - Each evidence reference exists in the court book or evidence and is reasonably likely to be admissible - The disclosure or verification wording required by the court is included and true - The supervising solicitor has signed off the AI-use record for the document ## Authorities - [Federal Court of Australia, Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence Practice Note (GPN-AI) (16 April 2026) paras 2.1, 4.3–4.5, 4.8–4.11, 4.13–4.15](https://www.fedcourt.gov.au/law-and-practice/practice-documents/practice-notes/gpn-ai) - [Supreme Court of NSW Practice Note SC Gen 23 – Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) paras 9A, 12–17, 20–24](https://supremecourt.nsw.gov.au/documents/Practice-and-Procedure/Practice-Notes/general/current/PN_SC_Gen_23.pdf) - [Local Court of NSW, Practice Note – Generative Artificial Intelligence (commenced 12 January 2026)](https://localcourt.nsw.gov.au/documents/practice-notes/other/Practice_Note_Generative_Artificial_Intelligence_Commences_12.01.26.pdf) - [Supreme Court of Victoria Practice Note SC Gen 25 – The use of Artificial Intelligence by Court users (14 May 2026) paras 6.8–6.12, 7.1, 7.4, 7.6](https://www.supremecourt.vic.gov.au/areas/legal-resources/practice-notes/sc-gen-25-the-use-of-artificial-intelligence-by-court-users) - [Supreme Court of Queensland Practice Direction 5 of 2025 – Accuracy of References in Submissions paras 5–14](https://www.courts.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/882064/sc-pd-5-pf-2025.pdf) - [Federal Court Rules 2011 (Cth) rr 16.01, 20.14, 20.15, 20.17](https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2011L01551/latest/text) - [Legal Profession Uniform Law Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules 2015 rr 4.1.3, 19.1, 37.1](https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/html/inforce/current/sl-2015-0244) - Handa & Mallick [2024] FedCFamC2F 957 - [Dayal 2024 FedCFamC2F 1166](https://lsbc.vic.gov.au/news-updates/news/statement-mr-dayal-matter) - [Ayinde v London Borough of Haringey 2025 EWHC 1383 (Admin)](https://www.judiciary.uk/judgments/ayinde-v-london-borough-of-haringey-and-al-haroun-v-qatar-national-bank/) - Mata v Avianca, Inc, 678 F Supp 3d 443 (SDNY 2023) ## Official form [Official form](https://www.fedcourt.gov.au/law-and-practice/practice-documents/practice-notes/gpn-ai) ## Full text and drafting notes The full text and the drafting notes are not part of this public page.
