Why this matter warrants attention
The Fair Work Commission dismissed the application because it was filed prematurely before the employment relationship had ended. The Commissioner further refused to waive the procedural irregularity, citing the applicant's reliance on hallucinated or incorrectly cited legal authorities generated by artificial intelligence as a basis for the dismissal.
The Commissioner reasoned that the application was premature because the applicant had not yet resigned at the time of filing. Regarding the request to waive the procedural irregularity, the Commissioner found it was not in the interests of justice to do so, specifically noting that the applicant's submissions relied on non-existent or incorrectly cited cases, which the Commissioner attributed to unverified use of artificial intelligence.
