## When to use it

Use when a Queensland personal-injury proceeding is ready for a request for trial date under the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules. The Brisbane Supreme Court and District Court allocation-of-trial-date forms are separate documents and were not opened. This is not a pleading.

## Used for these tasks

- [Prepare the request that a personal injury proceeding is ready for trial](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/prepare-the-request-that-a-personal-injury-proceeding-is-ready-for-trial.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may check Form 48 against the file and list what is incomplete; it writes nothing that will be filed, including the readiness confirmation, and the lawyer signs and files it.

**AI may:**

- Check the downloaded file against the current resources page
- List, from the file, whether a trial plan and the Practice Direction 9 of 2010 checklist are already agreed for a Supreme Court proceeding
- Index dates to avoid and the estimated length only where the lawyers have already recorded them

**AI must not:**

- Must not write the readiness confirmation under rule 467(4), the outstanding-matters table, the trial length, the dates, or the signature block
- Must not write any statement that will be filed
- Must not decide that the proceeding is ready for trial
- Must not sign or file the request
- Must not write clause K, the confirmation that the information supplied in the form is correct

**The lawyer checks:**

- The current Form 48 is used, and it is not confused with the unopened allocation-of-trial-date forms
- Rule 467 and rule 469 are read before the confirmation or a dispensed signature is used
- Supreme Court Practice Direction 9 of 2010 is read before the trial plan is confirmed; that direction was not opened
- Filed references are checked against the accuracy practice directions named on the courts generative-AI page
