## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: From the settlement terms or judgment, calculate whether the compensation amount (including legal costs for a settlement) exceeds the notification threshold, populate the notice of judgment or settlement from the approved template, calculate the 28-day lodgement date, and track the notice of past benefits and the notice of charge through to payment.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms who is the notifiable person and the payer, checks the amount and the injury details notified, reviews the notice of past benefits for services unrelated to the injury before it is accepted, and confirms the charge is paid before funds are released to the client.
- 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 threshold calculation includes legal costs where the compensation is fixed by settlement.
2. Diarise 28 days from the judgment or settlement date.
3. Review every item in the notice of past benefits against the injury before accepting it.

## 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.
