## When to use it

Use when preparing a grounds outline from a Commonwealth decision and the record. It places a fact next to a ground the principal names. It is not an application.

## Used for these tasks

- [Draft a judicial-review grounds outline from the decision and the record](https://ailawframework.com/practice/administrative-and-public-law/draft-a-judicial-review-grounds-outline-from-the-decision-and-the-record.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may place a fact from the record next to a section 5 ground the principal names, and must not plead a ground or say that it is made out.

**AI may:**

- Copy the grounds in section 5(1) and the improper-exercise matters in section 5(2)
- Place a page or paragraph the principal identifies beside the ground the principal names

**AI must not:**

- Must not add a ground that is not in section 5
- Must not say a ground is made out, or that the decision is reviewable
- Must not treat the no-evidence ground as made out unless section 5(3) is addressed by the principal
- Must not draft an originating application

**The lawyer checks:**

- The decision is one to which the Act applies, under the definition that was not opened here
- The applicant is a person who is aggrieved, as the principal decides
- The decision was made after the commencement of the Act
- Any application is settled by the principal, in the form the court rules require
