Why this matter warrants attention
The tribunal rejected an authority cited by the claimant, 'CAPITA v Christou,' because the judge could not verify its existence and suspected it was an AI-generated hallucination. The judge refused to apply the unverified case, ultimately dismissing the claimant's TUPE-related claim on its merits.
The judge reasoned that the tribunal cannot apply authority that cannot be verified. The judge further concluded that the respondent complied with Regulation 11 of the TUPE Regulations 2006, as the provided information accurately reflected the consolidated terms and conditions of the employees at the time of transfer.
Tribunals flag AI-generated authorities even without sanction—unverifiable citations erode credibility entirely.
