| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the registration perfects the interest in the proceeds or whether a further step is needed before the 5 business days end. The regulations and section 153 were not opened. |

## 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 financing statement and the proceeds, list which of the three section 33 paths, if any, perfects the interest in the proceeds, and if none does, the date 5 business days after attachment. The tool does not say the interest is perfected.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the registration perfects the interest in the proceeds or whether a further step is needed before the 5 business days end. The regulations and section 153 were not opened.
- 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. Use temporary perfection only when subsection (1) does not perfect the interest in the proceeds. Count 5 business days from attachment to the proceeds.
2. Currency, cheques, an ADI account, and an insurance or indemnity payment are a stated path. Other proceeds need a description that the registration actually covers.
3. The regulations and section 153 were not opened. Do not invent the description those regulations require.

## 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.
