When to use it
Use when a creditor client has agreed a payment plan with a business debtor, before or after proceedings start. For individual consumers, check consumer credit and hardship obligations first and keep terms simple. Do not use where the debtor is insolvent or a preference risk is significant without advice.
How AI may be used
AI may produce a first draft from the lawyer-approved payment plan, default clause and release, and check the schedule arithmetic, but the lawyer decides the default mechanism, security, consumer law issues and execution.
AI may
- Assemble the deed from the approved plan, default clause and release
- Check that instalments add up to the acknowledged amount plus any agreed interest
- Prepare the consent judgment from the proceeding details the lawyer supplies
AI must not
- Must not add interest, fees or default charges that the client has not approved
- Must not decide whether consumer credit laws apply to the arrangement
- Must not alter the consent judgment amount or terms after the parties have agreed them
The lawyer checks
- The acknowledged amount is correct and the debtor is the right entity
- The consent judgment is held in escrow and its filing trigger is clear
- Consumer credit, hardship and unfair contract terms risks have been considered
- Execution blocks suit each party, and any guarantor has had the chance to get independent advice
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
