## 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: Working with the lawyer from the notice, the agreement, the rent ledger and the firm's template, draft the application in the prescribed form with the ground, the orders sought and the documents to be filed.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the notice was valid and the termination date has passed, settles the orders sought, checks every fact stated against the file, and signs off before filing.
- 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. Confirm the notice relied on has been checked for validity and the termination date has passed.
2. Check the orders sought are ones the tribunal or court can make on that ground.
3. Check every amount and date in the application against the ledger and the notice.

## 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.
