- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used

- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether section 33ZB binds the person. The lawyer writes the advice. The judgment must describe or otherwise identify the group members who will be affected by it.

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.
