Direct answer
What happened in this matter?
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice struck the plaintiffs' jury notice in a complex tort and Charter action and awarded the moving police defendants $7,000 in costs. In assessing whether a jury trial was practical, the judge noted inaccurate citations in a self-represented defendant's motion material and inferred that she had used generative AI; the court considered that she would not have the same assistance during an in-person trial.
