## 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 order, the tenant's circumstances and the supporting documents, draft the application or request for a delay, setting out the hardship and the date the tenant can leave.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the forum's power to delay or suspend the order, checks the hardship evidence, and confirms the proposed date is realistic for the tenant.
- 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 order and any warrant dates.
2. Check each hardship claim against a document.
3. Confirm the tenant has somewhere to go on the proposed date, or say why not.

## 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.
