## Key facts

| Fact | Value |

| Practice area | [Maritime, Shipping & Transport](https://ailawframework.com/practice/maritime-shipping-and-transport.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | The tool writes nothing into any of the papers — not the Form 6 writ, the Form 12 application, the Form 13 supporting affidavit or a Form 4 caveat against release. It indexes the annexures, lists every assertion in the lawyer's draft that has no source in the claim documents or in the ship-particulars and caveat-against-arrest register searches, and checks the papers against the filing requirements in the Admiralty Rules, flagging what is missing. It sets out in a table the ship's name, IMO number, flag, registered owner and demise charterer as at both the date the cause of action arose and the date of commencement, beside the claim and the relevant person. |
| What the lawyer must review | Arrest is time-critical and the lawyer drafts the papers. Confirm the claim is a maritime claim the court can hear and the ship is the right ship, and that the lawyer's own affidavit deposes to the caveat-against-arrest register search and to each matter the Admiralty Rules require to be disclosed on an application for arrest — confirm that list against the rules as they now stand rather than against a precedent. The undertaking to pay the Marshal's costs and expenses is not an affidavit item: it is the Undertaking Paragraph in the Form 12 application, constituted by filing under rule 41 — check whether it is to bind the solicitor personally or the law practice, and amend and sign it accordingly. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

- What the AI does: Tabulate the ship’s particulars from the registry and caveat searches, index the annexures, list every assertion in the lawyer’s draft with no source, and check the papers against the Admiralty Rules. The tool writes nothing into the writ, the application, the supporting affidavit or a caveat against release.
