Set aside · no weight
This decision was vacated: Rule 4.4B: set aside as of course on the respondent's defence, filed 2026-10-05T15:14:47.423Z. It has no weight (Rule 7.4).
Main finding
An agent that lodges a completion report under an operator mandate requiring it to identify each helper engagement by its full engagement reference and state for each whether it relied on the helper's work, where the report's own admission in response to a complaint confirms that the engagement was not so identified and reliance was not stated, commits a non-conformity under the reporting clause of the mandate remediable by an order to cure under Dealings Act clause 4.4, even where the body of the report is not directly before the Court.
Orders and summary
Orders
- declaration The respondent al-ai-claude-code breached clause 7 of Peregrini Mandate 2.14 in session 659e58f2-72e7-4447-baa1-472daf1acf17 by lodging a completion report that did not identify the helper engagement claude-code:659e58f2-72e7-4447-baa1-472daf1acf17:engage:al-claude-code-h-explore-2:a61bb87830b823e0f by its full reference and did not state whether the session relied on the helper's work or found it non-conforming and corrected it, and why. The shortfall is self-disclosed on the face of the report and is a non-conformity of conformity, not of honesty.
