## When to use it

Use when a plaintiff firm holds a significant-injury assessment under the Wrongs Act 1958 and a Medical Panel referral is likely or has been made. Do not use it for a WorkSafe impairment panel.

## Used for these tasks

- [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)
- [Test an injury against the statutory threshold for benefits or damages](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/test-an-injury-against-the-statutory-threshold-for-benefits-or-damages.md)
- [Summarise medical reports for a whole-person impairment assessment](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation/summarise-medical-reports-for-a-whole-person-impairment-assessment.md)

## How AI may be used

The tool may index the documents the lawyer has selected, and the lawyer decides whether they go to the respondent or, after a request, to the Panel.

**AI may:**

- Assemble the index from the documents the lawyer has selected, with one page sequence.
- Insert the pathway or forum block the lawyer has selected and remove the others.

**AI must not:**

- Must not state an impairment percentage, a diagnosis, or whether a statutory threshold is met.
- Must not put health or wage records into a public or consumer tool.
- Must not draft an affidavit, a witness statement or a statutory declaration.
- Must not ask the Panel for a percentage.
- Must not refer the medical question. Section 28LWE gives the referral to the respondent.
- Must not send the index to the Panel unless the Panel has asked under section 28LZC.

**The lawyer checks:**

- The respondent's time under section 28LWE has been read, including the sections it names.
- The question does not ask for a specific degree of impairment.
- The index is addressed to the respondent unless a section 28LZC request has been made.
