## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: From the settlement documents, the FIRB approval and the buyer’s details, populate the registration data (the land, the interest acquired, ownership percentages, the registrable event date) in the firm’s validated sheet, calculate the 30-day due date, and flag joint or tenant-in-common holdings where each foreign owner must act.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the buyer is a foreign person for the register, that the interest is registrable agricultural land, the event date from the settlement record, and that registration is lodged on time by the client or its authorised representative.
- 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. Confirm the foreign-person status and the registrable interest before the sheet is used.
2. Check the event date against the settlement or lease commencement record.
3. Confirm each foreign co-owner’s registration where shares are held separately.

## 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.
