## Checking plan

**Check against the source**

A requisition-to-evidence response table.

- What the AI does: Break the Court’s requisition into separate requests and map each to the existing evidence, missing material and proposed response document.
- What the lawyer does: Read the actual requisition, obtain genuine missing evidence and check each proposed response against the Court’s requirements before filing.
- Who reviews: The lawyer responsible for this task
- Basis: Suggested checking workflow informed by the linked official sources. The workflow and traffic light are framework guidance, not a source-issued AI classification.
- Why: A focused work product makes the review proportionate: check the source inputs and every material result, then resolve the specific exceptions before relying on it.
- Restriction: Pause if a response would require facts no witness can confirm. Escalate a contested issue, irregular will or unclear Court requirement.
- Written for: VIC

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Compare the task list with the full requisition and preserve its exact document references and any stated time requirements.
2. Locate the source evidence for each request and distinguish supplied evidence from material still to be obtained.
3. Check any new affidavit or explanation with its maker; do not invent recollections, searches or execution facts.
4. Verify the response pack, exhibit labels and filing method, and retain the actual acknowledgement after submission.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: Victoria, Australia. Adapt to the Court handling the application.

**Deliverable**: A requisition-to-evidence response table.

**Inputs**

- The Court’s requisition
- Filed application and exhibits
- Existing file records and genuinely obtained additional evidence

**Example**: The Court asks for an explanation of an alteration to the will. The table identifies who can provide evidence; it does not generate a witness account.

**Stop and escalate when**

- Pause if a response would require facts no witness can confirm.
- Escalate a contested issue, irregular will or unclear Court requirement.
