What it rests on
| Input | Value | Basis | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passenger's safe date | 2028-03-06 | From a document | |
| Passenger date of birth | 2009-08-12 | Client said | |
| Passenger age at the collision | 16 | From a document | |
| Passenger adverse to the client | yes | Inferred, needs counsel | |
| Referral letter sent to her parent | Not on file | Missing | no document |
Deterministic reasoning
- A passenger in the client's vehicle is adverse to the client as driver.
- The passenger's safe date is the earliest document-supported date plus two years: 2028-03-06.
- She is a minor: RCP-7 requires a litigation guardian to sue. The letter says so.
- LIM-06 minority suspension appears only as a fork for her counsel, never as a later date in the letter.
- The letter is queued, not sent. No advice on the merits.
