## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Energy, Resources & Mining](https://ailawframework.com/practice/energy-resources-and-mining.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | Index the expenditure vouchers, contractor invoices, field records and previously reported activity against each tenement and expenditure year, and list the assertions in the lawyer's draft that no indexed document supports. The tool writes no part of the declaration or affidavit and supplies no wording for it. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer drafts the evidence with the deponent, confirms the deponent's own knowledge of each expenditure item, and checks the application and objection deadlines and the form of swearing required. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

- What the AI does: Index the expenditure vouchers, contractor invoices, field records and previously reported activity against each tenement and expenditure year, and list the assertions in the lawyer's draft that no indexed document supports. The tool writes no part of the declaration or affidavit and supplies no wording for it.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer drafts the evidence with the deponent, confirms the deponent's own knowledge of each expenditure item, and checks the application and objection deadlines and the form of swearing required.
- 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.
- Restriction: The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. The lawyer drafts the evidence with the deponent, confirms the deponent's own knowledge of each expenditure item, and checks the application and objection deadlines and the form of swearing required.
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.
