| Practice area | [Insolvency, Restructuring & Bankruptcy](https://ailawframework.com/practice/insolvency-restructuring-and-bankruptcy.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From each contract made before the administration began, quote any clause that confers a right by reason of administration, insolvency, or the company's financial position, with the clause number. List contracts made after the administration began in a separate list. Do not say the right is stayed. |
| What the lawyer must review | Decide which rights section 451E stays, for how long, and which fall outside it. Read Subdivision B of Division 7 before treating a secured creditor as stayed. Sections 415D and 434J were not opened and are not used. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Quote the clause and the date of the contract. The stay conclusion is made from section 451E, not from the clause heading.

- What the AI does: From each contract made before the administration began, quote any clause that confers a right by reason of administration, insolvency, or the company's financial position, with the clause number. List contracts made after the administration began in a separate list. Do not say the right is stayed.
- What the lawyer does: Decide which rights section 451E stays, for how long, and which fall outside it. Read Subdivision B of Division 7 before treating a secured creditor as stayed. Sections 415D and 434J were not opened and are not used.
- 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. Separate contracts made after administration began. Subsection (5)(a) takes those rights outside the stay.
2. Do not treat a secured creditor as stayed until Subdivision B of Division 7 has been read.
3. Record any written consent of the administrator or of a later liquidator.
4. Do not apply sections 415D or 434J. They 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.
