## Checking plan

**Check every line**

The lawyer explains the actual conditions and consequences to the client and checks practical conflicts across orders.

- What the AI does: Draft plain-language headings from the complete current bail documents, keeping each operative condition traceable to the source.
- What the lawyer does: Make the legal assessment, check the source material and authorise the output for its intended use.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in this practice area
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects the consequence of an error and the amount of independent review the described output needs.
- Restriction: A summary does not vary bail or replace legal advice.
- Written for: NSW

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm all current bail acknowledgements, variations and relevant other orders are available.
2. Check every reporting time, address, exclusion, non-contact condition and exception against the operative wording.
3. Check for conflicting conditions across matters and refer any change needed through the proper process.
4. Explain the conditions directly to the client, using an interpreter where needed, and confirm understanding before issuing the summary.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. The cited court, tribunal or scheme requirements apply only within their stated scope.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: NSW bail; the individual operative conditions govern

**Deliverable**: A lawyer-checked client explanation with the original conditions attached or linked.

**Inputs**

- Current bail conditions and variations
- Relevant other orders
- Confirmed communication and language needs

**Example**: Illustrative example: A draft says report daily but omits a specified reporting window. The lawyer restores the window and checks the client can comply.

**Stop and escalate when**

- The current conditions are incomplete or conflict.
- Simplification changes the substance of a restriction or implies permission that the order does not give.
