## Used for these tasks

- [Check the claim pack against the current form, fee and registry rules before filing](https://ailawframework.com/practice/debt-recovery-and-civil-enforcement/check-the-claim-pack-against-the-current-form-fee-and-registry-rules-bef.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may check a draft against civil Form 19 and list gaps; the lawyer writes the statement of claim and the particulars.

**AI may:**

- Check the draft against the current official form and list blank fields, missing attachments and inconsistent party names
- Flag when the proceeding looks like a motion, summons, judicial review or other process that uses a different form
- List the copies, layout and registry details stated on the court page that was opened

**AI must not:**

- Must not draft the indorsement, statement of claim, grounds or any affidavit
- Must not decide which court has jurisdiction, the monetary limit, or whether the claim is in time
- Must not sign, file or serve the document

**The lawyer checks:**

- The current form is the one prescribed for this kind of proceeding in this court
- Parties, court heading and relief match the instructions
- Any pre-action step, fee and practice direction is checked against the current rules
