## Checking plan

**Line-by-line review**

Review the complete output at the level of each line, paragraph or clause; check facts, meaning and omissions.

- What the AI does: From the suspension notice, the driver’s traffic record and the client’s circumstances, calculate the appeal deadline, populate the notice of appeal, and build a table of the matters the client says bear on the appeal (driving needs, work, family, record) with the document that supports each.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the decision is appealable and the appeal is in time, advises whether the client may drive while the appeal is pending, decides what evidence to call, and prepares the client for the hearing.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- 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 what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Fix the notification date from the notice and how it was served, then count the 28 days.
2. Confirm the suspension type is one the Act makes appealable.
3. Check the client’s traffic record is the latest extract, not an old printout.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
