Why this matter is tracked

In an unfair dismissal proceeding before the Fair Work Commission, the applicant's representative, Mr. Michael Archer, cited various cases in his closing submissions. The presiding Deputy President formed the impression that artificial intelligence had been used to generate these submissions and questioned the representative, who admitted to using AI. The Commission subsequently directed the representative to provide a list of the cited cases along with verifiable links. The Commission informed the parties that it would disregard any cited cases for which the representative could not produce valid citations or links. The representative consented to this procedure. The underlying unfair dismissal application was ultimately dismissed on substantive grounds related to the employer's reasonable belief of serious misconduct.
