## 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 ASIC’s notice, the disclosure document and the due diligence record, list each concern raised beside the passage and the verification for it, and calculate the hearing and response dates. The tool writes nothing in the issuer’s submissions or evidence.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides the response strategy (correct, withdraw or contest), prepares the submissions and any evidence with the directors, and advises the board on the effect of an interim order.
- 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 unannounced, price-sensitive deal information goes only into a tool approved for inside information and is handled under the deal’s information barrier.
2. Confirm the hearing date and any interim order in force.
3. Check each concern against the verification record.
4. Confirm no tool wording is in the submissions.

## 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.
