When to Use
- A user has draft Particulars of Claim or a pre-action pleading outline.
- The draft needs checking before issue, service, amendment, or counsel review.
- The user wants gaps in pleaded facts, parties, remedies, limitation, or causes of action surfaced.
- The claim is in England and Wales civil litigation.
This skill reviews pleading sufficiency and structure. It does not certify merits, settle pleading strategy, sign statements of truth, or replace solicitor/counsel approval of the final pleading.
Audience and Work Shape
Audience: England and Wales litigation solicitors, pupils/junior counsel, trainees, and paralegals preparing or checking a pleading for solicitor/counsel review.
Work shape: pattern-matched review with accretive judgment. The skill maps pleaded facts to elements and flags drafting gaps; it does not settle legal strategy or merits.
Legal Failure Modes
- Legal support, not legal advice: the review identifies pleading gaps and verification points; it does not certify viability, merits, strategy, or limitation.
- Privilege/confidentiality: draft pleadings and advice notes are often privileged work product until filed or served. Keep review outputs internal unless a responsible lawyer approves circulation.
- Accountability: the responsible solicitor/counsel owns the final pleading, statement of truth, allegations, and relief sought.
Access Modes
This skill works in three modes:
- Live source mode - use browser, web search, MCP, API, or other configured access to retrieve public rules, protocols, authorities, filings, or source documents.
- User-supplied source mode - use draft pleadings, contracts, chronology, correspondence, witness materials, counsel notes, rules, protocols, or orders supplied by the user.
- No-source mode - review the draft's internal pleading structure and prepare a source/rule request list, but do not verify elements, limitation, or CPR compliance.
If governing rules, pleaded-law support, or source documents cannot be retrieved or supplied, mark the relevant item verify_current_rule, verify_current_law, or source_missing. Do not supply element maps or limitation conclusions from model memory as controlling law.
How It Works
1. Confirm claim context
Identify:
- Court, track if known, claim value, parties, and procedural stage.
- Causes of action pleaded or intended.
- Key contracts, events, losses, and remedies.
