A log of information that may need disclosure, limited to what ASIC's handling-corporate-information page says. Listed companies must disclose material price-sensitive information in a timely way and comply with the market's listing rules. The listing rules were not opened.

## Key facts

- Kind: Checklist. Steps or checks to work through and tick off.
- Practice area: [In-House / General Counsel](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/in-house-general-counsel.md)
- Jurisdictions: Australia, Commonwealth
- AI level: Yellow. You and the tool draft together, with you directing. You check every statement you rely on.
- Law stated as at: 2026-10-22
- Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-10-22 against the authority it cites, for Australia and Commonwealth.

## When to use it

Use when a listed company is deciding whether information must be disclosed. Record the facts and the decision. Do not draft the announcement. ASX Guidance Note 8 and the Corporations Act text were not opened.

## Used for these tasks

- [Keep the continuous-disclosure decision log for a developing matter](https://ailawframework.com/practice/in-house-general-counsel/keep-the-continuous-disclosure-decision-log-for-a-developing-matter.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may enter the information and the date the file shows the company became aware of it. It must not decide that the information is price sensitive or draft an announcement.

**AI may:**

- Add a row for each item the lawyer has already listed
- Record the date awareness is shown in a document the lawyer supplies
- Leave the disclose-or-not column blank

**AI must not:**

- Must not apply an exception in the listing rules. Guidance Note 8 was not opened
- Must not draft the market announcement
- Must not state that information is not material

**The lawyer checks:**

- Each item is assessed against the Corporations Act and the listing rules, not against this page alone
- Confidential price-sensitive information is held only as the page's warning requires, until the lawyer decides
- The decision and the person who made it are recorded before any announcement
