## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

For FCFCOA work, verify every relied-on authority, quotation and factual proposition, check current law and comply with the document’s length and format requirements. Be able to explain the tool used and how its output was checked. Court users other than experts do not generally need to add an AI-use declaration unless requested under PD-AI 4.11.

- What the AI does: From the affidavits and the issues list, draft a chronology, a case outline and proposed orders with record cites.
- What the lawyer does: Make the legal assessment, check the source material and authorise the output for its intended use.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in this practice area
- 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 the consequence of an error and the amount of independent review the described output needs.
- Written for: AU

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Verify every legal reference and quotation directly in a reliable source and confirm the proposition it supports.
2. Trace each factual assertion and chronology entry to the evidence, checking dates, identities and surrounding context.
3. Check for omitted or contrary material and adapt the argument to current law and the actual issues.
4. Review the complete final document for accuracy, length and format and preserve the information needed to explain the checking.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. The cited court, tribunal or scheme requirements apply only within their stated scope.
