## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Diary the meeting and the notice dates, and leave the convening steps to the lawyer.

- What the AI does: From the date the administration began, diary eight business days for the meeting and five business days before the meeting for the notices. Record whether a written notice to creditors and a publication are on the file. Do not decide the outcome of the meeting.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the notices were given to as many creditors as reasonably practicable, whether the publication met the prescribed requirements, and what is put to the meeting.
- 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 scheme 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. Count eight business days from the start of the administration, and five business days back from the meeting date.
2. Confirm a notice or a publication is ticked only when the document is on the file.
3. Confirm the diary does not describe the prescribed information and does not say the meeting was validly convened.

## 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 appointment notice in section 450A is a separate task. The prescribed information and the prescribed manner are not in section 436E and are not stated. This is not the report to creditors.
