| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the dealing and the security agreement, list whether section 32 says the interest continues in the collateral, whether it attaches to the proceeds, and whether the market-value limit applies because enforcement is against both. The tool does not state the priority result. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the interest survived the dealing and what it attaches to. Another provision that lets a buyer take free was not applied in this task. |

## 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 dealing and the security agreement, list whether section 32 says the interest continues in the collateral, whether it attaches to the proceeds, and whether the market-value limit applies because enforcement is against both. The tool does not state the priority result.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the interest survived the dealing and what it attaches to. Another provision that lets a buyer take free was not applied in this task.
- 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. Separate continuation in the original collateral from attachment to the proceeds. Authorisation can end the first. The agreement can exclude the second.
2. Apply the market-value limit only where enforcement is against both the collateral and the proceeds, and the collateral is not an investment instrument or an intermediated security.
3. Do not decide that a buyer takes free under Part 2.5. That Part was not opened. Do not apply section 55 beyond the timing rule stated in section 32.

## 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.
