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 check the MR5 details against the client file and the Tribunal case number; the lawyer checks each form and the client's choice of representative, recipient and email consent.
AI may
- Check the applicant's name, date of birth and Tribunal case file number against the file
- Check the representative's practising certificate or MARN details are entered correctly
AI must not
- Must not tick the appointment box or the email consent for the client
- Must not sign or lodge the form
The lawyer checks
- Only one box ticked: representative and authorised recipient, or authorised recipient only
- Representative is a person who may give immigration assistance (and, if charging, is a registered migration agent or Australian lawyer with a practising certificate)
- Email consent discussed with the client, including the security risks the form notes
- Tribunal told immediately of any change (MR6 for contact details)
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
