## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

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

- What the AI does: From the purchase or lease documents and the ownership structure, populate the regulator’s registration application with the registration holder and the nominated registered operator, and list each document the application needs and whether it is held.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides who should be the registration holder (including where a lessor or financier is the sole legal owner, or where there are joint owners or a trust), confirms the registered operator meets the regulator’s requirements, and checks the application before lodgement.
- 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 registration holder is the person the lawyer chose, consistent with the ownership documents.
2. Check the registered operator nomination meets CASA’s requirements.
3. Check the current version of the regulator’s advisory circular and forms on the day of lodgement.

## 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.
