## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: From the writ, the judgment and the title search, populate the electronic application to record the writ against each folio the debtor owns, calculate the writ’s currency, the protection period from registration and the date the recording will lapse, and flag any folio that cannot take a recording, such as strata common property.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the writ is current and the debtor is the registered proprietor of each folio, checks the folio identifiers, decides whether to ask the Sheriff to sell, and diarises renewal before the writ expires.
- 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. Check the registered proprietor’s name on each folio matches the judgment debtor.
2. Confirm the writ is current on the lodgement date.
3. Diarise the end of the 6-month protection period and any renewal of the writ.

## 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.
