## When to use it

Use when a Queensland personal injury claim for a child, or for a person with impaired capacity, is to be settled and the settlement is not valid until sanctioned. The lawyer writes the affidavit, the opinion and the orders that are filed.

## Used for these tasks

- [Prepare court-approval papers for a child or protected-person settlement](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/prepare-court-approval-papers-for-a-child-or-protected-person-settlement.md)

## How AI may be used

The lawyer writes the application, the opinion, the affidavits and the orders; the tool writes nothing into them and may only index the bundle and reconcile figures the lawyer has already accepted.

**AI may:**

- Index the reports, notices and proof of service the lawyer lists, and mark a Practice Direction step that has no document
- Reconcile the compromise sum, the statutory charges and the costs estimates against the source notices
- Record the five-business-day service date once the lawyer nominates the hearing date

**AI must not:**

- Must not draft or outline the solicitor's affidavit, the litigation guardian's affidavit or statement, counsel's opinion, or the administrator's affidavit
- Must not write the draft order that is filed
- Must not put medical reports or the opinion into a public tool

**The lawyer checks:**

- Section 59 applies, and the sanction is by the court or, if the public trustee is asked to sanction, by the questionnaire on the Public Trustee's page
- Rule 98 material is produced to the court and is not served on another party unless the court orders otherwise
- The Public Trustee is served five business days before the hearing unless a shorter time is agreed in writing, and the opinion is not in that bundle
- Any written submission names the responsible person and the references have been verified, under Practice Direction 5 of 2025
