ADVISOR READOUT

Why this matter warrants attention

Fabricated: Case Law | The tribunal stated that the claimant’s AI-generated submissions created non-existent case law and precedent, rendering the submissions unreliable and confusing; no individual fabricated authority was identified in the judgment. Outcome: The claimant was ordered to pay £7,500 in costs; the AI-generated submissions were cited as contributing to unreasonable conduct and wasted costs, but no separate penalty was imposed specifically for hallucination.. The claimant submitted lengthy correspondence and attachments relying on several unidentified AI generators. The tribunal found that the submissions were often highly unreliable and literally created non-existent case law and precedent, causing confusion and additional work. The court treated this approach as part of the claimant’s unreasonable conduct in the proceedings and reaffirmed a £7,500 costs order, while making no separate sanction specifically for the fabricated authorities.
