## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Residential Conveyancing & Property](https://ailawframework.com/practice/residential-conveyancing-and-property.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Quote each clause on a sunset date, on registration of a plan, and on a change to the plan or the price. If the contract has no such clause, say so. Do not say the clause is enforceable. |
| What the lawyer must review | You decide the risk. No statute of off-the-plan sales or of interstate land sales was opened, so the list does not state a cancellation right beyond the words of the contract. Model Rule 1.4(b) requires an explanation sufficient for the client to decide. Comment 8 to Rule 1.1 and Formal Opinion 512 govern the use of a tool on the contract. A date that is not in the clause is not added. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Quote each clause on a sunset date, on registration of a plan, and on a change to the plan or the price. If the contract has no such clause, say so. Do not say the clause is enforceable.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Do not import a statutory sunset period. None was opened.
- A missing clause is not a finding that the contract is unlawful.
