| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer takes the account, writes every sentence of it, confirms it is the deponent's own knowledge, and checks the jurat, the witnessing requirement and the annexure markings before it is sworn. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

- What the AI does: Index the annexures and exhibits, compare the lawyer's draft against the proofing note and the source documents, list the facts that still have no source, and check the form against the local rules. The tool writes nothing into the statement.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer takes the account, writes every sentence of it, confirms it is the deponent's own knowledge, and checks the jurat, the witnessing requirement and the annexure markings before it is sworn.
- 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.
- Restriction: The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Read the statement back to the deponent in their own language, record any interpreter's involvement, and strike anything the deponent does not adopt as their own account.
2. Check each allegation against the chronology and the annexure it relies on, and mark as recollection only any allegation with no document behind it.
3. Check that no sentence, phrase or paragraph came from anywhere but the deponent — not from the police narrative, not from a precedent statement and not from another file.
4. Check the jurat, the witnessing requirement, the annexure or exhibit markings and whether this scheme requires an affidavit, written grounds or sworn oral evidence on the return date.
5. Check the statement for the protected person's current address, workplace, school and telephone details and for third-party information that should not be served, and confirm the version served is the version sworn.

## 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.
