## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Match the later event to one of the five endings, and do not add a day-count the section does not state.

- What the AI does: From the interim order and any later final order, refusal, revocation or withdrawal, list which ending event in the opened section applies and the time that event fixes. Do not draft an order.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides which ending event applies and whether a final order should keep the interim order going until service.
- 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.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. If the final order says the interim order continues until service, the interim order ends when the final order is served. If the final order says nothing of that kind, the interim order ends when the final order is made.
2. A refusal ends the interim order at the refusal. Revocation ends it at the revocation. Withdrawal of the application ends it at the withdrawal.
3. The section states no default number of days. Do not add one.
4. The note about a revived, varied or suspended order under the Family Law Act is 21 days or the end of the interim order, whichever is earlier. Those Family Law Act sections were not opened.

## 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.
- The final-order duration task and the police safety-notice task stay on their own sections.
