## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

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

- What the AI does: Potential support includes organising research leads and extracting and organising information. 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. Trace every relied-on figure to its source, confirm dates and assumptions, and independently recalculate totals or derived amounts.
2. Check the current court or regulator requirements, prescribed form and attachments for the intended document and filing.
3. Review operative clauses in the complete document, including definitions, cross-references, schedules and inconsistencies with the instructions.
4. Confirm instructions and personal circumstances through appropriate direct engagement. Have the responsible lawyer assess safety, capacity or vulnerability concerns and escalation.
5. Review the original source set for relevant material absent from the output, including contrary evidence, qualifications and unresolved gaps.
6. Verify the applicable jurisdiction and the version of each relevant law, rule or instrument in force at the material time.
7. Confirm the output against the client’s instructions and the complete relevant source material, including omissions or contradictions.
8. 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.
