| How AI is used | From the costs agreement, the litigation funding agreement and the parties' relationships, build a table of each actual or potential conflict (duty and interest, duty and duty) between the applicant, class members, the lawyers and the funder, and draft conflict-management provisions and a protocol for raising and resolving conflicts during the proceeding from the firm's precedents. |
| What the lawyer must review | Decide which conflicts exist or may arise on this funding structure, settle the provisions and protocol, and make sure the arrangements let the lawyers meet their continuing obligation to recognise and manage conflicts throughout the proceeding. |

## 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 costs agreement, the litigation funding agreement and the parties' relationships, build a table of each actual or potential conflict (duty and interest, duty and duty) between the applicant, class members, the lawyers and the funder, and draft conflict-management provisions and a protocol for raising and resolving conflicts during the proceeding from the firm's precedents.
- What the lawyer does: Decide which conflicts exist or may arise on this funding structure, settle the provisions and protocol, and make sure the arrangements let the lawyers meet their continuing obligation to recognise and manage conflicts throughout the proceeding.
- 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. Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. Check the conflicts table against the actual relationships between the funder, lawyers and applicant.
3. Confirm the provisions cover both duty-and-interest and duty-and-duty conflicts.
4. Confirm the protocol fits the agreements that will be disclosed to the court.
5. Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.

## 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.
