| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the procedural history, list the non-compliance the party knew of, whether the provision is one the parties may derogate from or a requirement of the arbitration agreement, and whether the party then went on without stating an objection without undue delay. The tool does not decide that the right is lost. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether section 4 treats the right as waived, and whether any agreed time limit for an objection was met. |

## 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: From the procedural history, list the non-compliance the party knew of, whether the provision is one the parties may derogate from or a requirement of the arbitration agreement, and whether the party then went on without stating an objection without undue delay. The tool does not decide that the right is lost.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether section 4 treats the right as waived, and whether any agreed time limit for an objection was met.
- 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. Record when the party knew of the non-compliance and when it next took a step. Do not treat silence as waiver unless the section’s knowledge and delay elements are both there.
2. The section covers a derogable provision of the Act or a requirement of the arbitration agreement. It does not, on its face, cover a mandatory provision.
3. Do not invent a number of days for undue delay. The section does not state one.

## 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.
