| How AI is used | Compare the documents the original owner has delivered with the statutory handover list: plans, specifications, certificates, depreciation schedules, insurance, planning approvals and endorsed plans, as-built drawings, compliance and fire safety certificates, warranties, the strata roll and the initial maintenance schedule. Record each item as received, incomplete or missing, with the date received. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer confirms the register reflects the version of the handover section in force for the scheme, decides whether anything missing should be demanded or pursued by order or penalty, and advises the new committee on the gaps before the first meeting. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

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

- What the AI does: Compare the documents the original owner has delivered with the statutory handover list: plans, specifications, certificates, depreciation schedules, insurance, planning approvals and endorsed plans, as-built drawings, compliance and fire safety certificates, warranties, the strata roll and the initial maintenance schedule. Record each item as received, incomplete or missing, with the date received.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the register reflects the version of the handover section in force for the scheme, decides whether anything missing should be demanded or pursued by order or penalty, and advises the new committee on the gaps before the first meeting.
- 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. Open the in-force section on the meeting date; the deadline and the list have changed with recent amendments.
2. Check warranties and the maintenance schedule cover each building system the plans show.
3. Record the delivery date of each item against the statutory deadline.

## 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.
