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
Paragraph 3.6 requires an affidavit or witness statement to reflect the person's own knowledge, experience and words. The lawyer and the witness write that document. AI may keep the explanation note paragraph 4.5 expects the person to be able to give.
AI may
- Record the tool, how it was used, and the checks a person made
- List the paragraph 4.2 verification items beside the draft
AI must not
- Must not generate the affidavit, witness statement or the expert's opinion
- Must not add a certificate. Paragraph 4.4 says court users are not required to certify the use of Gen AI
- Must not rely on a Gen AI tool as the only check of AI-generated content
- Must not put confidential, privileged or suppressed information into a tool that is not a closed tool
The lawyer checks
- The affidavit or witness statement reflects the person's own knowledge, experience and words, and is true to the best of that person's knowledge
- The expert report contains the expert's own opinion and reasoning, and the relevant practice direction and code are opened. They were not opened for this checklist
- Facts, evidence, cases, legislation, textbooks and articles have been checked by a person
- Images, video and sound have not been modified, enhanced or fabricated
- The person can explain, if asked, which tool was used, how, and what was done to check the content
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
