When to use it

Use when a client has a notice proposing or making a dangerous or menacing dog declaration. The lawyer writes any objection. This checklist does not.

Used for these tasks

Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.

How AI may be used

AI may copy the conditions from the official page for the category named in the notice; the lawyer checks them against the notice and writes any objection.

AI may

  • List the category on the notice and the conditions the opened page states for that category
  • Record the objection date if the notice or the New South Wales page states one

AI must not

  • Must not add a condition from another category or another place
  • Must not write the objection or describe the incident
  • Must not state a Queensland objection period. The opened Queensland page does not give one

The lawyer checks

  • The category on the notice matches the list: dangerous or menacing
  • New South Wales: seven days from the date the council issues the notice of intention, if that page applies
  • Queensland: a muzzle in public is stated for a dangerous dog and not for a menacing dog
  • Any objection is the lawyer writing, lodged in the time on the notice

Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
