## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

Check confidentiality, admissibility, privilege, court orders and agreed restrictions separately. FDR confidentiality and inadmissibility have distinct statutory rules and exceptions; do not describe uploading as automatically waiving statutory protection. PD-AI 5.6 notes the prohibition on court-user recording and transcription in proceedings, including GenAI tools. Verify relied-on summaries against the permitted original.

- What the AI does: From transcripts and conference notes the lawyer has cleared, produce a dated working summary with page cites and a list of undertakings or orders made.
- 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.
- Restriction: Do not join an AI recording or transcription tool to court proceedings contrary to the applicable prohibition.
- Written for: AU

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm that the source was lawfully recorded or obtained and that processing and the intended later use are permitted.
2. Check applicable confidentiality, FDR admissibility rules, privilege and any specific restriction before supplying the material to a tool.
3. Verify each relied-on passage, speaker, qualification and time or page reference against the original.
4. Keep gaps and disputed meaning visible and have the lawyer approve any later use of the summary.

## Notes

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