## When to use it

Use when a licensed contractor has received, or expects, a direction to rectify from the Queensland Building and Construction Commission. The response to the direction is written separately.

## Used for these tasks

- [Respond to a regulator order to rectify serious defects in an apartment building](https://ailawframework.com/practice/construction-and-infrastructure.md#A11-L20261018-5)

## How AI may be used

AI may enter the direction's date, the licensee named, and the period printed on the direction. It writes none of the response.

**AI may:**

- Enter the direction number, date, licensee and the period printed on the direction
- List photographs, contracts and variation records by date and description
- Flag a direction whose stated period ends within the next 7 days

**AI must not:**

- Must not draft the response to the direction
- Must not admit or deny that work is defective
- Must not describe the cause of a defect or draft a witness statement

**The lawyer checks:**

- The period is the period stated in the direction, not an assumed 35 days
- The dollar penalties on the Commission page are checked against the current penalty before they are quoted
- Any internal review is taken from the review pages, which were not used here
