Where this comes from

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

When to use it

Use before a Queensland proceeding for damages for personal injury that is not a health care claim and not a dependency claim. Part 1 must be given in the period in section 9(3), unless section 9(9C) or section 9A applies. The lawyer uses Form 2 for a health care claim and Form 3 for a fatal dependency claim.

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 current official form against the file and list what is missing; it writes nothing in a declaration or certificate, and the lawyer settles every statement the client signs or gives.

AI may

Check the draft is the current file from the official page and list every blank field and missing attachment
Index the documents already on the file that the form calls for, with date and author
Turn the published giving and response steps into a checklist for this matter

AI must not

Must not write any words in a statutory declaration, claimant certificate, medical certificate or other verification
Must not sign, lodge, give or serve the form
Must not decide whether a time limit has been met or whether an excuse is reasonable
Must not write the claimant's certificate required by the 2025 regulation

The lawyer checks

The claim is not a health care claim and not a dependency claim, and Form 1 version 7 is current
Section 9(3) is applied to [DATE OF INCIDENT], the first symptoms, and the first instruction of a law practice, unless section 9(9C) or section 9A applies
Part 2 is timed from section 9(3A), not from the form's broken sentence about one month
Both statutory declarations and the claimant's certificate are made by the people the form and regulation name

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