Kamal v Tax Policy Associates

High Court · Mar 11, 2026

Direct answer

What happened in this matter?

The High Court of Justice (King's Bench Division) identified the claimant's use of AI-generated fabricated case citations in correspondence as 'unacceptable' and a component of his broader failure to adhere to proper litigation standards. This conduct was cited by the court as part of the justification for striking out portions of the claimant's pleadings and granting summary judgment to the defendants.

Why the court cared
The court reasoned that the claimant's deployment of AI-generated 'hallucinatory' references to non-existent cases in inter-partes correspondence was unacceptable and caused unnecessary effort in cross-checking. This conduct, alongside other procedural failures and oppressive litigation tactics, demonstrated that the proceedings were not properly conducted, justifying the strike-out of pleadings and summary judgment.

Why this matter is tracked

In a libel and malicious falsehood claim brought by a barrister against a tax blogger and his organization, the High Court addressed the claimant's conduct of proceedings. The court found the claimant's litigation conduct to be improper, citing a history of compliance failures, including the deployment of AI-generated fabricated case citations in inter-partes correspondence. The court noted that these 'hallucinations' caused unnecessary effort in cross-checking and were part of a broader pattern of unacceptable litigation standards. Consequently, the court identified these failures as contributing to a dispute history that did not constitute properly conducted litigation, ultimately resulting in a partial strike-out of the particulars of claim and summary judgment for the defendants.
