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

The tool may generate a working schedule of earnings from wage records on the file, because PIC13 paragraph 11 permits that, and the lawyer checks every figure before it is attached.

AI may

Build a working schedule of pre-accident weekly earnings, deductible amounts and amounts able to be earned from payslips and payment summaries already on the file
Split the rows into the first 13 weeks, weeks 14 to 78, and the period after week 78
List dependants named in documents already on the file, with date of birth and relationship

AI must not

Must not invent a figure that is not in a record on the file
Must not write a statement of the injured person's evidence into the schedule
Must not sign the schedule or lodge it
Must not treat the schedule as a statutory declaration

The lawyer checks

Every dollar figure is checked against the source record before the schedule is attached
Part 1 is the weekly benefits in dispute. Part 2 is dependants. Part 3 follows sections 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 of the Motor Accident Injuries Act 2017 as the form labels those columns
The filing party or representative signs the form. The PDF is marked v0.1. The filename on the Commission site includes Aug23. The PDF text does not print a month
The privacy notice on the form refers to section 58 of the Personal Injury Commission Act 2020 and to disclosure to SIRA
PIC13 paragraph 11(a) permits generation of a schedule of earnings, subject to paragraph 10 on material that must stay inside a controlled platform
Health, wage and other personal information stays in a firm-controlled tool. Check confidentiality under ASCR r 9 and APP 11, and whether any breach is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
