## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Agribusiness & Rural Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/agribusiness-and-rural-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the tenancy writing, list each clause that says a party gives up a right, power or duty, or that the Act does not apply. Do not decide that the clause is void, and do not list provisions of the Act that allow a waiver. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether a clause waives or defeats the Act, and whether any waiver is one the Act itself allows. Any agreement purporting to waive or abrogate any right, power or duty created by the Act, or otherwise to defeat the purposes of the Act, is to that extent void. Nothing in the section precludes a waiver of rights in accordance with a provision of the Act. The provisions that allow a waiver were not opened, so they are not listed. This is not a screen of franchise terms. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The lawyer decides whether a tenancy term waives the Act and is void to that extent.

- What the AI does: From the tenancy writing, list each clause that says a party gives up a right, power or duty, or that the Act does not apply. Do not decide that the clause is void, and do not list provisions of the Act that allow a waiver.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether a clause waives or defeats the Act, and whether any waiver is one the Act itself allows. Any agreement purporting to waive or abrogate any right, power or duty created by the Act, or otherwise to defeat the purposes of the Act, is to that extent void. Nothing in the section precludes a waiver of rights in accordance with a provision of the Act. The provisions that allow a waiver were not opened, so they are not listed. This is not a screen of franchise terms.
- 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. Each clause that gives up a right, power or duty under the Act is listed.
2. The section makes the agreement void only to the extent of the waiver or the defeat.
3. No list is made of provisions that allow a waiver, because those provisions were not opened.

## 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.
