Why this matter warrants attention
Fabricated: Exhibits & Submissions | AI appended a certified court transcriber certification page (name, NS registration number and signature of Sue Loney) to the September and October 2025 transcripts that were not certified. Outcome: Adverse Costs Order. The self-represented appellant admitted using unspecified AI tools to transcribe and assemble his appeal book. The AI-generated transcripts included material inaccuracies and, according to the appellant, appended a certified court-transcriber certificate (including name, registration number and signature) belonging to Sue Loney. The respondent discovered 39 discrepancies and the transcriber denied certifying those transcripts. The Court found the appellant knowingly filed misleading certifications and uncertified transcripts, rejected reliance on an AI excuse, dismissed the appeal for failure to perfect, and awarded indemnity costs of $20,000.
