## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

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

- What the AI does: From the ticket, the flight records, the incident report and the passenger’s medical records, build the claim table: the carriage and whether it is domestic, when the aircraft arrived or should have arrived, the date the two-year period ends, where the event happened relative to embarking and disembarking, and the documents bearing on whether there was an accident, each cited to its source.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides which liability regime applies to the carriage, whether there was an accident on board or in the course of embarking or disembarking, confirms the date proceedings must be issued by, and advises on liability and damages.
- 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. Fix the start of the two-year period from the arrival, scheduled arrival or end of carriage, whichever is earliest.
2. Treat the period as extinguishing the claim, not as an ordinary limitation period that can be extended.
3. Check whether state law also applies to the carriage before relying on the Commonwealth regime alone.

## 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.
