## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The list exists so the accuracy direction can be met. The lawyer opens the sources.

- What the AI does: Extract every case, statute and pinpoint from a draft submission into a list for the lawyer to open.
- What the lawyer does: Open each reference, match the proposition, and settle the submission only when that is done.
- 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. Name the court and open its accuracy direction.
2. Extract every reference, including pinpoints.
3. Open each one in a trusted source and match the proposition.
4. The lawyer settles the submission after that check.

## 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 QLD variant. Accuracy of references plus PD 5 of 2025: name the individual practitioner, not the firm.
- 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: The Queensland court or tribunal whose accuracy direction applies

**Deliverable**: A reference list with the source the lawyer opened beside each item.

**Inputs**

- The draft submission
- The accuracy direction for that court
- AustLII or the Queensland legislation site

**Example**: A medium-neutral citation that does not resolve is deleted or corrected from the real judgment.

**Stop and escalate when**

- You have not identified which Queensland court’s direction applies.
- A reference remains unverified.
- The only name on the submission is the firm’s.
- A reference has not been opened by the person who will be named.
- One QLD variant. Accuracy of references plus PD 5 of 2025: name the individual practitioner, not the firm.
