Taking some of the advice on here .

I boarded past the corner . Cut it back with a multi tool then a quick file over it . I presume this is better as a supported corner ?

Leave it as it is now, the plasterer will fit an angle bead anyway which will straighten and strengthen the external corner

That was exactly my thinking . Can always change the other external edges if he cries too much ?

I cut it back with an old panel saw.  Cutting plasterboard is not kind to a saw so keep an old one just for that. Don't use your best one.

When I was working I used to have three saws in the van, newest was for proper woodwork (me only) second was for anyone else on site to borrow or me to cut old stuff, third was knackered fir plasterboard only. When the “best one” was a little blunt I bought a new one and they all moved down the scale and I threw out the oldest ?. (I hate blunt tools). ( I never lent out my wood chisels either).

I find old saws good for insulation and plastic drainage pipe.
