## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Family Violence & Protection Orders](https://ailawframework.com/practice/family-violence-and-protection-orders.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the order as served and the list of licences and weapons the client has given, set out a table of the statutory consequence for each item: whether a licence is automatically revoked, whether a weapons exemption is displaced, whether police have a search power, and what the order itself says must be surrendered. Leave the local rule blank where this file has no opened section for it. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer confirms the order is in force against this person, which licence or exemption is actually held, and what must be surrendered or varied before the client is left holding a firearm or a weapon. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Match each licence or weapon on the table to the section that was opened, and do not fill a consequence the section does not state.

- What the AI does: From the order as served and the list of licences and weapons the client has given, set out a table of the statutory consequence for each item: whether a licence is automatically revoked, whether a weapons exemption is displaced, whether police have a search power, and what the order itself says must be surrendered. Leave the local rule blank where this file has no opened section for it.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the order is in force against this person, which licence or exemption is actually held, and what must be surrendered or varied before the client is left holding a firearm or a weapon.
- 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. Check the order is the instrument named in the section, not a draft or an expired order.
2. For New South Wales, confirm s 24(1) automatic revocation only where the licensee has become subject to an apprehended violence order or a serious domestic abuse prevention order.
3. For Queensland, separate a s 81 thing-prohibition from the s 83 displacement of a Weapons Act exemption, and note s 83(3) on when a conviction can follow.
4. Do not state a Victorian licence cancellation. Section 159 is a search power.

## 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.
