## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Anti-Discrimination & Industrial Relations](https://ailawframework.com/practice/anti-discrimination-and-industrial-relations.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Draft the application or referral response for the chosen forum from the lawyer's settled grounds, carry the complaint's particulars and the respondent details through into the new document, and build a date table from the notice for the filing deadline. |
| What the lawyer must review | Independently calculate the deadline from the date on the notice and decide whether an extension application is needed, settle the grounds of unlawful discrimination and the relief claimed, confirm the correct forum for a work-related complaint in that jurisdiction, and confirm the applicant's account of the conduct is in the applicant's own words before filing. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: Draft the application or referral response for the chosen forum from the lawyer's settled grounds, carry the complaint's particulars and the respondent details through into the new document, and build a date table from the notice for the filing deadline.
- What the lawyer does: Independently calculate the deadline from the date on the notice and decide whether an extension application is needed, settle the grounds of unlawful discrimination and the relief claimed, confirm the correct forum for a work-related complaint in that jurisdiction, and confirm the applicant's account of the conduct is in the applicant's own words before filing.
- 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 instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. Independently calculate the deadline from the date on the notice and decide whether an extension application is needed, settle the grounds of unlawful discrimination and the relief claimed, confirm the correct forum for a work-related complaint in that jurisdiction, and confirm the applicant's account of the conduct is in the applicant's own words before filing.
3. Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.

## 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.
