Where this comes from

The official form is published by maic.qld.gov.au; this page is a completion guide. Last checked on 2026-10-23.

When to use it

Use when a law practice is retained on a Queensland CTP claim and must give a law practice certificate under the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994. The page is the MAIC certificate. A PIPA or workers' compensation certificate is a different statutory certificate. The lawyer does not use this for an unrepresented claimant.

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 the stages at which the Act and the MAIC page require a certificate; it writes nothing in the certificate or its statutory declaration, and the supervising principal signs it.

AI may

List the statutory stages already identified on the file at which a certificate is required
Check the file for a certificate from the supervising principal and for any copy received under section 36E
Record the nomination under section 36C(2)(b) if the only principal has a planned absence

AI must not

Must not write the certificate, the statutory declaration, or the claim-farming statements
Must not decide whether section 74 or section 75 applies, or whether a costs agreement complies
Must not sign or give the certificate

The lawyer checks

The certificate is the commission's approved form for this CTP claim, signed by the supervising principal
Section 36A is met before notice if the practice was retained first; section 37AB is met within 1 month if the practice is retained after notice
A speculative personal injury claim also states compliance with section 79 or the Legal Profession Act 2007, section 347
The MAIC page's figure of 300 penalty units, stated as $51,810 for an individual from 1 July 2026, is checked before it is repeated

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