## Used for these tasks

- [Prepare personal-insolvency papers: bankruptcy notice, petition or equivalent](https://ailawframework.com/practice/insolvency-restructuring-and-bankruptcy/prepare-personal-insolvency-papers-bankruptcy-notice-petition-or-equival.md)

## How AI may be used

Yellow. A tool may compare a working note with the current official form and list what is missing. The lawyer downloads the form, completes it and lodges it.

**AI may:**

- List the facts and documents the official page says to have ready.
- Compare a working checklist with the current downloaded form and mark gaps.
- Prepare a filing note that quotes only what the official page says.

**AI must not:**

- Do not copy the official form into a new document or file a retyped version.
- Do not invent a form number, fee, time limit or rule that is not on the official page.
- Do not draft, settle or sign an affidavit or other sworn evidence.
- Do not lodge the form or tell the client it has been filed.

**The lawyer checks:**

- Use Form B3 only for the interim application the page titles.
- Download the current PDF from that page.
- Read the Central Practice Direction the page names.
- The lawyer decides whether interim relief is available. The page does not list the orders.
