## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

- What the AI does: Extract the levy resolutions, notice dates, service records and payment history into the lawyer's precondition table, compare each notice against the lawyer's list of required contents, and flag every line with no supporting document.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether each levy was validly struck, whether each precondition is satisfied, and when proceedings may and must be started, and signs the record.
- 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.
- Restriction: The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. The lawyer decides whether each levy was validly struck, whether each precondition is satisfied, and when proceedings may and must be started, and signs the record.
3. Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.

## 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.
