## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Each citation is opened on the Territory site. Similar southern Acts are not substitutes.

- What the AI does: Extract Territory Act citations from a draft into a list for the legislation database.
- What the lawyer does: Match the in-force Territory text to the proposition.
- 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.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Extract every Territory citation.
2. Open the in-force text.
3. Label any Commonwealth section as Commonwealth.
4. The lawyer approves what remains.

## 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.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Northern Territory

**Deliverable**: A citation list with the database result.

**Inputs**

- The draft
- The Northern Territory legislation site

**Example**: A Western Australian mining provision offered as a Territory section is rejected until the Territory Act is opened.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The database has not been opened.
- The draft mixes Commonwealth, Territory and state sections without labels.
