## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Construction & Infrastructure](https://ailawframework.com/practice/construction-and-infrastructure.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | Map each issue in the lawyer's issues table to the clause, notice or variation the lawyer has cited for it and to the documents in the evidence index, and set that mapping out as a cross-reference table which flags every issue with no document behind it and every notice or condition precedent with no document showing it was given in time. The table is a working tool for the lawyer: where a Scott Schedule or particulars will be filed or served, the lawyer writes the entries. From the source documents, compile a strictly tabular, source-tagged chronology of the delay events, notices, directions and claims, each row dated and tagged to the document it is drawn from, in date order and not in the order the pleading or memorial will take. Check the lawyer's draft against the form of pleading and particulars under the court rules, the List Statement requirements of the Technology and Construction List, or the tribunal's procedural order, on exhibit numbering, paragraph numbering, formatting and page limits. The tool writes no part of the pleading, the particulars or the memorial: in this task the document states the client's case and makes its admissions when it is filed or served, and the Scott Schedule that carries the pleaded particulars item by item goes out as drawn. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer drafts the pleading, the particulars or the memorial, settles each allegation against the contract and the evidence, and writes the entries in any Scott Schedule or particulars that will be filed or served. Verify every cite, confirm whether the dispute-resolution clause sends the claim to court or to arbitration, and confirm each notice and condition precedent pleaded is supported by a document on the file. Decide yourself whether any notice was given in time and whether any time bar applies. The certification is personal to you and the tool cannot carry any part of it: in Victoria, that there is a proper basis for each allegation, denial and non-admission; in New South Wales, that a claim for damages has reasonable prospects of success. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: Potential support includes preparing preliminary structure or wording and summarising source material. Confirm the tool’s capability and permitted scope.
- What the lawyer does: Set the scope, verify the evidence, resolve exceptions and approve the final output for its intended use.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Suggested checking approach based on the task guidance. Complete the assessment for the actual tool, information and jurisdiction.
- Why: The plan reflects the described work and review requirements. Policy colours are not used to determine permission or checking.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Open each relied-on authority independently. Confirm its existence, current status, proposition and any quotation or pinpoint reference.
2. Confirm each factual assertion with the witness and original record. Preserve the witness’s own knowledge and words, and check the court’s rules for this document.
3. Check the current court or regulator requirements, prescribed form and attachments for the intended document and filing.
4. Check the specialist’s assumptions, qualifications and limits. Obtain the relevant expert or specialist review before relying on a technical conclusion.
5. Verify the applicable jurisdiction and the version of each relevant law, rule or instrument in force at the material time.
6. Confirm the output against the client’s instructions and the complete relevant source material, including omissions or contradictions.
7. Resolve exceptions and record the responsible lawyer’s approval of the exact output and intended use.

## Notes

- Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts. The checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
