## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The list supports the verification the practice note requires in the body of the submission. The author still performs that verification.

- What the AI does: Extract citations and evidence references from a draft submission into a verification list for the author.
- What the lawyer does: Verify each citation and evidence reference in a source other than a generative tool, and settle the verification wording in the submission.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in the matter and the forum
- Basis: Planning guidance checked against the linked public sources on 22 September 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.
- Why: The traffic light follows the consequence of an error and how much of the output the lawyer must check before it is used.
- Restriction: The lawyer leads the substantive decision. Any assistance stays inside the preparation described for this task.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the forum is the Supreme Court and open the 28 January 2025 note.
2. Verify each citation, quote and legislative reference independently of a generative tool.
3. Put the verification in the submission, as the note requires when generative AI was used to prepare it.
4. Do not use the tool to rephrase an affidavit that the submission attaches.

## Notes

- Suggested working checks from the linked public sources. Read the source and confirm it applies to this forum and this date. The checks do not approve software or record that the work is done.
- One NSW variant. Name the NSW court first. Local Court adopted SC Gen 23 from 12 January 2026. stopWhen District Court, NCAT or Personal Injury Commission.
- Suggested working checks from the linked public source. Read that source before you rely on the check. This is not a record that the check has been done.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Supreme Court of New South Wales

**Deliverable**: A verification list and a submission that contains the author’s own verification.

**Inputs**

- The draft submission
- SC Gen 23
- Access to the authorities and the evidence

**Example**: A pinpoint that the tool invented is deleted, not “fixed” by a second prompt.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The matter is in the Local Court, the District Court or NCAT.
- Any citation has been checked only by a generative tool.
- The matter is in NCAT or the Personal Injury Commission. Those bodies have their own directions.
- SC Gen 23 has not been opened.
- One NSW variant. Name the NSW court first. Local Court adopted SC Gen 23 from 12 January 2026. stopWhen District Court, NCAT or Personal Injury Commission.
