When to use it
Use when a Commonwealth matter may involve restraint or confiscation, to record which agency the CDPP page says has the function. State and territory confiscation Acts were not opened.
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 record dates and which agency holds the file, from documents the lawyer supplies. The lawyer decides which statute and which applicant apply.
AI may
- Enter the date any restraining order or confiscation action was commenced, if a document states it
- List the agencies named on the brief
- Flag that no restraining-order date has been recorded
AI must not
- Must not draft a restraining order, forfeiture application or pecuniary penalty application
- Must not state the grounds or time limits in the Proceeds of Crime Act. The Act was not opened
- Must not apply a state or territory confiscation Act
The lawyer checks
- Whether a restraining order had been sought when the application was made
- Whether any confiscation action was commenced before 1 January 2003
- Whether the matter is a corruption superannuation application, a prescribed narcotic dealings recovery, or a civil remedy connected with a prosecution
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
