## 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: From the notice and the client's records, extract each fact and circumstance CASA relies on into a table beside the client's records that bear on it, and index the records. The tool writes nothing in the response.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer writes the response, decides what to accept and contest, proposes any conditions or remedial action, checks every fact, and advises on review if CASA proceeds.
- 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. Confirm the time for responding stated in the notice and diarise it.
2. Check the response answers each fact and circumstance CASA sets out.
3. Check each record in the bundle against the point it answers.
4. Consider whether CASA has also acted, or may act, on a serious and imminent risk basis, which changes the urgency.

## 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.
