## 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 decision letter and the file, record whether the decision is stated to be reviewable and any time limit, list the findings the decision relies on beside the evidence on file and any new information, and draft the grounds section of the internal review application.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the decision is reviewable and the time limit from the letter, decides the grounds and what new information to provide, rewrites the grounds, and advises on external review if internal review fails.
- 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. Confirm from the decision letter that the decision is reviewable and the time limit.
2. Check each finding against the evidence on file.
3. Confirm the client’s instructions on the grounds before lodgement.

## 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.
