- mrs-sandra-archer-v-gtc-contracting-2025-12-24
- Observed outcome
- The application for an unfair dismissal remedy was dismissed on the merits; the AI-related procedural issue resulted in the exclusion of unverified case law citations.
- Known monetary consequence
- Not recorded
Why this matter warrants attention
The applicant's representative admitted to using artificial intelligence to prepare closing submissions after the Deputy President questioned the authenticity of cited cases. The Commission ordered the representative to provide verifiable links for all citations and ruled that any cases lacking such verification would be disregarded.
Fabricated: Case Law
Fair Work Commissioners now ask representatives directly whether they used AI; admission leads to link-or-disregard protocol.
