The tool sets out each date from a fact and a provision the lawyer has named, and it does not choose the date that controls.

A policy or procedure for a firm or client. - Practice area: [Personal Injury & Compensation](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/personal-injury-and-compensation.md) - Jurisdictions: Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales - AI level: Yellow.

Use it with the lawyer's own calculation of the controlling date. It is not a notice of claim and it is not a form. ## Used for these tasks - [Calculate limitation and pre-action notice deadlines from the injury facts](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/calculate-limitation-and-pre-action-notice-deadlines-from-the-injury-fac.md) - [Triage a new injury enquiry against scheme eligibility](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/triage-a-new-injury-enquiry-against-scheme-eligibility.md) - [Draft the pre-action notice or statutory claim form from the instructions](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/draft-the-pre-action-notice-or-statutory-claim-form-from-the-instruction.md) - [Record the time to give notice of a statutory-benefits claim](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/record-the-time-to-give-notice-of-a-statutory-benefits-claim.md) ## How AI may be used The tool may set out a diary table from facts and from provisions the lawyer has named, and a lawyer checks every date and decides which date controls. **AI may:** - Lay out one row for each fact and each provision the lawyer has named, with the count shown - List facts on the file that have no provision against them yet - Show where two named provisions produce two different dates - Flag a downloaded form that contains a statutory declaration, and leave that part blank **AI must not:** - Must not choose the scheme, the provision, the trigger date, or the date that controls - Must not treat a passed date as final, or write a reasonable excuse - Must not write any answer in a statutory declaration or other sworn part of a notice or claim form - Must not copy a time limit from an older scheme guide, or from a page that describes a different Act **The lawyer checks:** - The controlling date is marked by the lawyer, with the provision and the fact it was counted from - Each exclusion, late-notice limb and regulation that can change a period has been read in the current text - Victorian Part IIA dates are used only where Part IIA applies, and transport and work damages dates are taken from the provisions that actually govern them ## Authorities - [Limitation of Actions Act 1974 (Qld) ss 11 and 11A, in force text](https://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/view/whole/html/inforce/current/act-1974-075) - [Limitation Act 1969 (NSW) ss 6A, 50A, 50C, 50D, 50E and 50F, in force text](https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/whole/html/inforce/current/act-1969-031) - [Limitation of Actions Act 1958 (Vic) s 27B, AustLII current compilation](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/vic/consol_act/loaa1958226/s27b.html) - [Limitation of Actions Act 1958 (Vic) s 27D, AustLII current compilation](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/vic/consol_act/loaa1958226/s27d.html) - [Limitation of Actions Act 1958 (Vic) s 27F, AustLII current compilation](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/vic/consol_act/loaa1958226/s27f.html) - [Limitation of Actions Act 1958 (Vic) s 27P, AustLII current compilation](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/vic/consol_act/loaa1958226/s27p.html) - [Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 (Qld) s 9](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/qld/consol_act/pipa2002314/s9.html) - [Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 (Qld) s 9A](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/qld/consol_act/pipa2002314/s9a.html) - [Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 (Qld) s 37](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/qld/consol_act/maia1994243/s37.html) - [Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 (Qld) s 275](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/qld/consol_act/wcara2003400/s275.html) - [Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 (Qld) s 302](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/qld/consol_act/wcara2003400/s302.html) - [Workplace Injury Management and Workers Compensation Act 1998 (NSW) s 261](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_act/wimawca1998540/s261.html) - [Workers Compensation Act 1987 (NSW) s 151D](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_act/wca1987255/s151d.html) - [Motor Accident Injuries Act 2017 (NSW) s 6.13](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_act/maia2017245/s6.13.html) - [Motor Accident Injuries Act 2017 (NSW) s 6.14](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_act/maia2017245/s6.14.html) - [Transport Accident Commission, how to lodge a claim](https://www.tac.vic.gov.au/what-to-do-after-an-accident/how-to-claim/how-to-lodge-a-claim-with-the-tac) - [Transport Accident Commission, common law time limits](https://www.tac.vic.gov.au/clients/how-we-can-help/treatments-and-services/policies/other/common-law-time-limits) - [WorkSafe Victoria, common law claim for damages](https://www.worksafe.vic.gov.au/common-law-claim-damages) ## Full text and drafting notes The full text and the drafting notes are not part of this public page.
