When to use it
Use when building the document set for an extinguishment or compensation question. The lawyer writes any conclusion. Sections on compensation and on past acts were not opened for this index.
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 list documents, dates and the interest each document records. The lawyer writes any conclusion about extinguishment or compensation.
AI may
- Enter the dealing number, date, parties and interest type from a title search the lawyer supplies
- Sort the documents by date
- Flag a gap in the chain of documents between two dates the lawyer names
AI must not
- Must not state that native title has been extinguished, partially extinguished, or revived
- Must not classify a grant as a previous exclusive possession act or any other statutory category
- Must not draft the compensation application or a valuation
The lawyer checks
- Every document in the index has been seen, not just listed from a search summary
- No row states a legal conclusion about extinguishment
- Section 190B(9) is used only as the registration condition it is. It is not treated as the test for a compensation claim
- The compensation provisions of the Act, and sections 47, 47A, 47B and 47C, are read before any advice. They were not opened for this index
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
