AI citations in Canadian, New Zealand and Australian courts
One page per country, each with the court rules on AI quoted from the primary text and every public record in our corpus. 352 records across the three, counted by script from the corpus refreshed 2026-10-23.
The three countries
| Country | Records in the corpus | Earliest decision | Latest decision | Pages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 233 | Feb 20, 2024 | Oct 1, 2026 | Fictitious citations in Canadian courts All Canada records |
| New Zealand | 7 | Nov 21, 2024 | May 1, 2026 | AI citations in New Zealand courts All New Zealand records |
| Australia | 112 | May 8, 2023 | Sep 15, 2026 | AI in Australian courts: practice directions and recorded cases All Australia records |
A record counts for a country when its jurisdiction cell lists that country, the same rule the country profile uses. The corpus counts published decisions that discuss suspected AI-generated content; it is not a census, and the counts are not usage-adjusted rates. Nothing here is legal advice.
