## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

Check the inventory against the actual files and discuss gaps with the client before sending a request.

- What the AI does: Compare a lawyer-approved disclosure request with a permitted document inventory and draft a received, missing and follow-up table.
- 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. Match every received item to the correct person or entity, document type and period; open any unclear or incomplete file.
2. Check the requested categories against the current issues, financial circumstances and applicable disclosure obligations.
3. Distinguish missing documents from documents not held, not relevant or subject to an unresolved objection; ask the client rather than guessing.
4. Review the final follow-up list for protected information and safe delivery before it is sent.

## Notes

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

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Australia: FCFCOA financial or property matters

**Deliverable**: A short disclosure gap list with file references and the next request.

**Inputs**

- Current disclosure request
- Permitted document inventory
- Client instructions about entities and missing records

**Example**: Illustrative example: A bank account has statements for January and March but none for February. The list flags the missing month without concluding that income was concealed.

**Stop and escalate when**

- Permission to process the documents has not been established.
- A proposed request could disclose a protected address or other safety-sensitive information.
