## When to use it

Use when a person who has been given an information notice wants an internal review of an animal welfare direction, a seizure direction or a forfeiture notice. Apply within 14 days. The application does not stay the decision.

## How AI may be used

AI may list the notice, its date and the orders it contains; the lawyer decides whether to apply, writes the grounds, and the client lodges Form 1170.

**AI may:**

- Record the decision named in the notice, the date the information notice was given, and the fourteenth day
- List the orders in the direction in the words of the notice
- Flag an application that would be outside 14 days of that date

**AI must not:**

- Must not decide that the direction should be changed or set aside
- Must not write the grounds or lodge Form 1170
- Must not say the direction is paused because a review has been lodged

**The lawyer checks:**

- The applicant is an interested person as the Act uses that term. The form says the Act defines it
- The application is made within 14 days of the date the applicant is given the information notice
- The original decision continues unless a Magistrates Court stays it under section 196
- The form is sent to the address or the email printed on the current Form 1170
