## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

- What the AI does: From the infringement notice, extract the infringement alleged, the election deadline and the consequences the notice states into a table. The tool does not write the advice.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer advises whether to elect to be dealt with under the infringement scheme, what the deemed admission means, and the alternative of being dealt with by charge.
- 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.
- Restriction: The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the election deadline and that an election may be withdrawn under the Act.
2. Explain that the member is taken to have admitted the infringement only for the purpose of the scheme.
3. Record the member's instructions.

## 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.
