## 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 file, list each event in section 33X(1), 33X(3) and 33X(4) that has happened, and whether a notice to group members is on the file for that event. Record the date of the event and the date of any notice. Do not draft a notice.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether section 33X requires a notice, whether the Court has dispensed with a notice under section 33X(2), and whether a settlement application can be determined. The lawyer settles any notice.
- 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. Match each event on the file to a paragraph of section 33X.
2. If no damages are claimed, record whether a dispensation under section 33X(2) is on the file. Do not assume it.
3. If a settlement approval is listed, confirm section 33X(4) is addressed before the application is treated as ready.
4. Confirm the tool has not drafted a notice.

## 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.
