| 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 the fee reports and the consent the lawyer marks, list the proposed reviewing liquidator, the approval dates inside the six months, the cost dates inside the 12 months, and whether a written consent and a written declaration of relevant relationships are on the file. Do not decide that the appointment should be made. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether creditors resolve, whether one or more creditors appoint with consent, or whether a request is made for ASIC to appoint, and whether a court review is appropriate. No section or time limit for a court review is taken from this page. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Index the consent, the declaration and the limited period, and leave the route to the lawyer.

- What the AI does: From the fee reports and the consent the lawyer marks, list the proposed reviewing liquidator, the approval dates inside the six months, the cost dates inside the 12 months, and whether a written consent and a written declaration of relevant relationships are on the file. Do not decide that the appointment should be made.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether creditors resolve, whether one or more creditors appoint with consent, or whether a request is made for ASIC to appoint, and whether a court review is appropriate. No section or time limit for a court review is taken from this page.
- 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. Check the consent and the declaration against the documents named in the index.
2. Confirm fee approvals older than six months, and costs older than 12 months, are outside the list unless the administrator's agreement to a longer period is on the file.
3. Confirm the index does not say the appointment should be made and does not state a court section or time limit.

## 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.
- This is not the remuneration approval report. Form 5605 was named on Information Sheet 85 and the form itself was not opened. No section or time limit for a court review was on the page.
