Why this matter is tracked
In a civil opposition proceeding, the Tribunal of Verona found the plaintiff's opposition to be manifestly unfounded. During the review of the introductory pleading, the court identified an extraneous chatbot prompt—'Se vuoi, posso proseguire con l'inserimento di questa parte in un atto completo...'—indicating the use of generative AI. The court determined this demonstrated a lack of sufficient control over the drafting process. Consequently, the judge imposed aggravated procedural sanctions under Article 96, paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure, ordering the plaintiff to pay 1,800 EUR to the opposing party and a 1,000 EUR penalty to the public treasury, in addition to standard litigation costs.
