Checklist
- A solicitor must inform the client or the instructing solicitor about the alternatives to fully contested adjudication of the case which are reasonably available to the client, unless the solicitor believes on reasonable grounds that the client already has such an understanding of those alternatives as to permit the client to make decisions about the client's best interests.
- The check is for a tool that is giving the practice's advice. It is not a review of a tool that is kept on the no-advice side of a public screen.
- The lawyer decides which alternatives are reasonably available and whether the client already understands them.
- The tool's answer is not sent until the lawyer has settled it.
