- Not recorded
Why this matter warrants attention
The UK Employment Tribunal disregarded the claimant's AI-generated case citations because they could not be verified or produced. The Tribunal informed the pro se litigant that the authorities would not be relied upon, but did not impose sanctions for their inclusion in the written submissions.
Fabricated: Case Law | Claimant relied on multiple case citations produced via ChatGPT in her written submissions but could not provide citations or copies; Tribunal and counsel could not locate them and did not rely on those authorities.
UK tribunals disregard ChatGPT-sourced authorities without sanction when filer is pro se.
