| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the dates the lawyer marks, list each act, its date, and whether the lawyer has marked it as related to the others. Do not pick the date that starts time and do not write an explanation for a late application. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides which acts are related and which date starts the time limit. Use the rule for the payment type. One clock does not fit every payment. Do not write the explanation for a late application. That is a separate piece of work. An omitted act may not be paid for later. The lawyer decides what is included. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to the linked source and check for material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: From the dates the lawyer marks, list each act, its date, and whether the lawyer has marked it as related to the others. Do not pick the date that starts time and do not write an explanation for a late application.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides which acts are related and which date starts the time limit. Use the rule for the payment type. One clock does not fit every payment. Do not write the explanation for a late application. That is a separate piece of work. An omitted act may not be paid for later. The lawyer decides what is included.
- 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. List every act the lawyer has marked, with its date, before choosing a start date.
2. Apply the period for the payment being sought. Do not use a recognition period for a different payment.
3. In Victoria, flag any act not included in the application, because the guideline says it cannot be paid.
4. Do not draft the explanation for lodging late. Stop at the dates.

## 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.
