## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The local rules decide the citation. Interstate wording is a lead, not a substitute.

- What the AI does: Extract procedural citations from a draft into a list for checking against the court rules.
- What the lawyer does: Open the court rules that apply in this jurisdiction. Do not paste interstate procedure as if it were local.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in the matter and the forum
- Basis: Planning guidance for the 23 September 2026 practice taxonomy. Confirm the current source 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 or obligation that applies before any draft is used.
2. Check the output against the current primary source for that forum.
3. Keep confidential, suppressed and compelled material out of a public tool.
4. The lawyer settles the document or the decision before it is used.

## Notes

- Planning guidance. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.
