## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Military & Defence Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/military-and-defence-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Compare the notice with section 13 or section 15 of the Defence Regulations 2026 and with the content list in section 32(2). Record the stated reason, whether the reason is one that requires notice, the date the notice was given, and the period allowed for a written response. Do not draft the response. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the power is section 13 or section 15, whether notice was required (including the probation exception in section 13(3)), whether the interests of the Defence Force are made out by reference to section 5(2), and writes any response. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: Compare the notice with section 13 or section 15 of the Defence Regulations 2026 and with the content list in section 32(2). Record the stated reason, whether the reason is one that requires notice, the date the notice was given, and the period allowed for a written response. Do not draft the response.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the power is section 13 or section 15, whether notice was required (including the probation exception in section 13(3)), whether the interests of the Defence Force are made out by reference to section 5(2), and writes any response.
- 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 stated reason against the words of section 13(1) or section 15(1), not against a summary.
2. Confirm the 21-day period is measured from the date the notice was given.
3. Confirm section 32(2) items, including the invitation to provide mental health evidence, are each marked present or absent.

## 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.
