Who does what
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Assistance | Supporting preparation only. List the function the lawyer identifies, the resource material in the brief, and the section the other side has named. Do not write the advice on whether the protection applies. The tool writes nothing into the document. Substantive advice, judgement and any restricted content remain with the responsible human. |
| Lawyer | Perform the substantive analysis and decisions. Independently check any permitted supporting work and approve the exact output for its intended use. |
Checklist
- The list names the function and the resource material in the brief.
- Record all four section 35 principles, including that the general allocation of financial or other resources is not open to challenge.
- Keep the broad-range principle and the procedures-and-standards principle separate from the allocation principle.
- Do not use this list for a road-authority restriction. That is a different section and was not opened.
