## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

A one-member company passes a resolution by the member recording it and signing the record.

- What the AI does: From the decision the lawyer states, prepare a record of the resolution for the single member to sign. Do not treat it as passed.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the company has only one member, settles the words, and signs off the record once the member has signed.
- 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. The section applies to a company that has only one member. The member passes a resolution by recording it and signing the record.
2. If the Act requires information or a document relating to the resolution to be lodged, that requirement is satisfied by lodging the information or document with the resolution that is passed.
3. The section's note says a body corporate representative may sign, and that passage must be recorded in the minute books. The note points to sections that were not re-opened for those mechanics.
4. The lawyer settles the words. The record is not treated as passed until the member has signed.

## 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.
