When to use it

Use when a compromise for a child or a person who cannot give a binding release has been, or will be, approved, and the order must say who is paid, from what, and when. Do not use it for a client who can sign the deed and be paid.

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 lawyer writes the payment orders; the tool may reconcile the waterfall against notices the lawyer has accepted and must not write the order or any affidavit that supports it.

AI may

Set the statutory-charge line beside the notice of charge the lawyer has accepted
List a clearance named in the draft order that is not yet on the file
Record the email or cheque step the Funds in Court page asks for, once the order exists

AI must not

Must not decide who is appointed trustee, administrator or manager
Must not send the balance to the client because a deed has been signed, where sanction or approval is still required
Must not put the medical or care reports into a public tool

The lawyer checks

The payee in the order matches the practice of that court: Funds in Court in a Victorian Supreme Court payment-in, the trustee or administrator in the Queensland pro forma, and the destination the New South Wales order actually states
Medicare is a charge line in the waterfall where the Services Australia page requires the Commonwealth to be paid before the injured person is paid
The time for payment is the time in the order, and a Victorian cheque is accompanied by the authenticated order
Supreme Court of Victoria filings are checked against Practice Note SC Gen 25. Proposed orders are not generated and then filed

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