## When to use it

Use before filing an affidavit, witness statement, expert report or written submission in a NSW court or tribunal, to pick the right practice note. The SC Gen 23 statements in this library (a5-nsw-sc-gen-23-sworn-disclosure) then apply unchanged in the adopting courts.

## How AI may be used

A tool may use this map to choose the practice note for a NSW filing. A lawyer confirms the current version of the note before filing.

**AI may:**

- Identify the practice note that applies to the court named on the matter
- Point to the SC Gen 23 statements and checklists in this library for adopting courts

**AI must not:**

- Must not assume a NSW tribunal not listed here has adopted SC Gen 23
- Must not generate the content of an affidavit or witness statement

**The lawyer checks:**

- The court's current practice note, because adoptions are 'as amended from time to time'
- For the IRC, Practice Note 33's own paragraph numbers are used in any statement
