## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

The flag list shows where a draft may have imported another state’s process. The lawyer replaces those steps.

- What the AI does: Flag procedural steps in a draft that cite a court rule, and list the jurisdiction each citation claims to be from.
- What the lawyer does: Check each procedural citation against the Uniform Civil Rules or the other South Australian rules that apply.
- 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. List every procedural citation and its claimed jurisdiction.
2. Open the South Australian rule for each one you will keep.
3. Delete foreign form numbers that do not exist in this court.
4. The lawyer settles the procedure.

## 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: South Australia

**Deliverable**: A list of procedural citations with the jurisdiction each one claims.

**Inputs**

- The draft
- The South Australian rules the lawyer is using

**Example**: A “form 20” from another state is marked foreign until you find the South Australian equivalent.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The draft is about to be filed with unresolved foreign form numbers.
- You are using the tool to invent a South Australian rule number.
