| Practice area | [Arbitration & Alternative Dispute Resolution](https://ailawframework.com/practice/arbitration-and-alternative-dispute-resolution.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | Build the enforcement checklist from the award and the file: the authenticated original award or certified copy, the original arbitration agreement or certified copy, translations and translator certificates, proof of the award creditor’s standing, and the award debtor’s known assets and address for notice, each tagged to the document held; flag anything missing or uncertified. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides the forum and whether to apply without notice, confirms the certification and translations meet the statute, prepares the originating application and the affidavit with the deponent, and settles the form of orders. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

- What the AI does: Build the enforcement checklist from the award and the file: the authenticated original award or certified copy, the original arbitration agreement or certified copy, translations and translator certificates, proof of the award creditor’s standing, and the award debtor’s known assets and address for notice, each tagged to the document held; flag anything missing or uncertified.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides the forum and whether to apply without notice, confirms the certification and translations meet the statute, prepares the originating application and the affidavit with the deponent, and settles the form of orders.
- 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.
- Restriction: The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check each certified copy and translation against the s 9 requirements.
2. Confirm the award creditor named in the award is the applicant, or document the assignment.
3. Confirm nothing generated has been carried into the affidavit.

## 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.
