## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Record the costs order and whether the amount is agreed, before any application to tax it.

- What the AI does: From the costs order and any agreement on the amount, list whether section 115 applies and whether either party can apply to have the costs taxed. Record that the amount ordered is recoverable as a debt. Do not draft the application and do not decide who should have been ordered to pay.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms a costs order exists under the legislation that authorises it, decides whether to apply to tax the costs, and writes the application.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Section 115 applies only where the tribunal has ordered a party to pay costs incurred by another party. The legislation that gives the power to make that order was not opened.
2. Either party may apply to have the costs taxed if the amount is not agreed. The record does not set the amount.
3. The amount ordered is recoverable as a debt. The record does not commence recovery.
4. The lawyer confirms the order and writes any application. This is not the costs position on a protection-order proceeding.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
- The note to s 115 points to other legislation for the power to order costs. That legislation was not opened.
