## Used for these tasks

- [Record the 12-month date for a costs assessment application](https://ailawframework.com/obligations/costs-billing-and-litigation-funding.md#A42-PE20261022-12)

## How AI may be used

The tool writes nothing in this affidavit, because it is sworn or affirmed evidence filed with the costs assessment application.

**AI may:**

- Record that the legal-fees page requires Form 60 and Form 46 to be filed together
- Record the form footer: version 3, approved 12 May 2025, rule 431

**AI must not:**

- Must not write any paragraph, exhibit description, jurat, signature or special-witness certificate
- Must not choose sworn or affirmed, or complete the Oaths Act 1867 boxes
- Must not file or serve the affidavit

**The lawyer checks:**

- The deponent swears or affirms before an eligible witness
- Form 46 version 3, approved 12 May 2025
- Filed with Form 60 and served within seven days, as the legal-fees page says
- Applicant and Respondent headings if the proceeding is an originating application
