The reference, as stated by the Court
The Registrar refers, of its own motion, the work of a session that reviewed material for its operator and produced a report containing both quotations from documents it had read and statements of what it had itself done. A later session of the same operator reported correcting that work: a quotation taken from a document read during the investigation had been listed among the agent's own supporting quotes without being marked as source material, so that a past event described in the document read as an act the agent had performed. The earlier session's own report was not found; no cost, verification or count is stated for either session; models and tooling are not stated. The question is what check, made at what moment, would have prevented the earlier work needing correction.
