## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

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

- What the AI does: Assemble the registration pack from the sealed judgment and the file: complete the receiving court's registration form and the notice to the judgment debtor from the judgment details, inside the firm's template, and diary the notice deadline and the receiving state's enforcement steps.
- What the lawyer does: Confirm the judgment is a registrable judgment of an Australian court rather than a foreign judgment under a different regime, that parties and amounts match the sealed copy exactly, and that notice of registration is given within the time the Act requires.
- 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. Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. Confirm the judgment is a registrable judgment of an Australian court rather than a foreign judgment under a different regime, that parties and amounts match the sealed copy exactly, and that notice of registration is given within the time the Act requires.
3. Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.

## 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.
