ORIC notice response preparation checklist

How to use this checklist
Read the exact notice and identify what it requires, who must respond and when. Different notices can involve different powers and consequences. This checklist supplies no standard response period and does not presume that a concern or allegation is established.

Notice type, date and reference: [copy exact title]
Statutory provision identified in the notice: [reference]

Interests and conflicts to manage: [details]

Opportunity to correct, explain or provide further material: [record]

Issue by issue response plan
For each requirement or concern record the exact issue, what is admitted, what is disputed and what remains unknown. Identify the relevant duty or rule, evidence relied on, contrary material and explanation. Keep conduct, an alleged breach and any proposed consequence separate.

Document inventory

Do not promise a corrective step the corporation lacks authority or resources to deliver.

Final checks and delivery
Check the response against every notice requirement, supporting record and approval. Preserve originals. Record the approved version, signatory, attachments, delivery receipt and next review date. Do not treat an extension request as an extension granted. This checklist does not lodge a response or extend a deadline.
