## 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 Tribunal's first review decision and reasons, draft the second review application with the decision, the grounds and the outcome sought.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether a second review is worth pursuing on the reasons, settles the grounds, and confirms the application is lodged within 28 days of receiving the first review decision.
- 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 28-day period from receipt of the first review decision.
2. Check each ground against the first review reasons, quoting the passage relied on.
3. Check whether a fee applies, as it does for paid parental leave second reviews.

## 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.
