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
AI may check the application against the tribunal's form and the documents on file and draft the orders sought for the lawyer to settle; the lawyer checks every statement and order in each application before it is signed and lodged.
AI may
- Check every part of the draft application is complete and the respondent's name and address for service match the documents
- Draft the orders sought, citing the section numbers the lawyer has identified, for the lawyer to settle
- Index the supporting documents (agreements, notices, receipts, photos, correspondence) with dates and sources
AI must not
- Must not decide which orders to seek or which section of the Act applies
- Must not write a party's statement of what happened in their own words, or any evidence that will be signed or sworn
- Must not sign or lodge the application
The lawyer checks
- The way the lease is said to have ended (agreement, notice to vacate, tenant's notice to terminate, abandonment or court order) identified
- For urgent termination: serious damage, or physical injury, caused or likely, with details and dates of threats, damage or injury
- Notice to vacate in the current form and correctly served where relied on
- Application lodged with the local court
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
