## Used for these tasks

- [Map statutory entitlements under the applicable compensation scheme](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/map-statutory-entitlements-under-the-applicable-compensation-scheme.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)
- [Reconcile the claim form with the medical chronology and payroll evidence](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/reconcile-the-claim-form-with-the-medical-chronology-and-payroll-evidenc.md)
- [Prepare the tribunal or commission document bundle from the lawyer-selected material](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/prepare-the-tribunal-or-commission-document-bundle-from-the-lawyer-selec.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may check the application against the current form and list missing records. The lawyer writes the grounds and any account of the injury, and checks every filing.

**AI may:**

- Check the application against the current official form and list missing records named on the page
- Flag when a claim form, a review form, an expedited-decision form or a mediation form is being used for the wrong step
- List the time limits and lodgement path stated on the page that was opened

**AI must not:**

- Must not draft the grounds, the injury narrative, or any words that would be lodged in the application
- Must not invent a date of decision, a medical finding or a weekly rate
- Must not sign, file or serve the application

**The lawyer checks:**

- The form selected is A04 on the current start-a-new-case page
- No time limit for A04 was stated on that page. The lawyer checks the current Act and rules
- The current South Australian generative-AI guideline is checked before any tool is used on the draft.
