| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether to comply, seek internal review or challenge the notice, settles the compliance plan with the business, confirms the compliance date, and checks nothing in the response is an admission that exposes the business or its executives under the chain of responsibility duty. |

## 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 notice and the business’s procedures, records and equipment, list each contravention and required outcome, the compliance date, the evidence of what the business has done, and gaps; draft the compliance plan and the covering letter for the lawyer to rework.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether to comply, seek internal review or challenge the notice, settles the compliance plan with the business, confirms the compliance date, and checks nothing in the response is an admission that exposes the business or its executives under the chain of responsibility duty.
- 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 the compliance date and the review window from the notice.
2. Check each piece of evidence actually demonstrates the outcome required.
3. Review the response for admissions before it is sent.

## 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.
