| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the sale contract, the outgoing licensee’s consent, the incoming licensee’s company extract and experience, and the regulator’s current online form, populate the transfer application, calculate the earliest intended transfer date, and build the settlement checklist linking the transfer steps to completion under the contract. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer confirms the proposed licensee and its people meet the regulator’s requirements, sets the transfer date against settlement, checks the contract makes completion conditional on provisional approval where needed, and confirms every application detail before lodgement. |

## Checking plan

**Line-by-line review**

Review the complete output at the level of each line, paragraph or clause; check facts, meaning and omissions.

- What the AI does: From the sale contract, the outgoing licensee’s consent, the incoming licensee’s company extract and experience, and the regulator’s current online form, populate the transfer application, calculate the earliest intended transfer date, and build the settlement checklist linking the transfer steps to completion under the contract.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the proposed licensee and its people meet the regulator’s requirements, sets the transfer date against settlement, checks the contract makes completion conditional on provisional approval where needed, and confirms every application detail before lodgement.
- 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 transferee’s company extract shows the directors and shareholders disclosed in the application.
2. Confirm the intended transfer date meets the minimum notice period and fits the settlement date.
3. Check the sale contract deals with the gap between provisional approval and confirmation.

## 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.
