## When to use it

Use when acting for an applicant in an immigration-related review in the Administrative Review Tribunal and the Tribunal must be told who the representative or authorised recipient is, or of a change.

## Used for these tasks

- [Prepare ART migration submissions with AI disclosure](https://ailawframework.com/practice/immigration-and-migration-law/prepare-art-migration-submissions-with-ai-disclosure.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may check the MR5 details against the client file and the Tribunal case number; the lawyer checks each form and the client's choice of representative, recipient and email consent.

**AI may:**

- Check the applicant's name, date of birth and Tribunal case file number against the file
- Check the representative's practising certificate or MARN details are entered correctly

**AI must not:**

- Must not tick the appointment box or the email consent for the client
- Must not sign or lodge the form

**The lawyer checks:**

- Only one box ticked: representative and authorised recipient, or authorised recipient only
- Representative is a person who may give immigration assistance (and, if charging, is a registered migration agent or Australian lawyer with a practising certificate)
- Email consent discussed with the client, including the security risks the form notes
- Tribunal told immediately of any change (MR6 for contact details)
