Why the court cared

Why this matter is tracked

In a labor termination application, the responding union alleged that the applicant, Riley Pollard, used an AI tool to generate written submissions containing fabricated or mischaracterized citations to Board Rules. The Ontario Labour Relations Board noted the union's concern regarding potential AI-generated hallucinations. However, the Board found that the applicant had correctly cited the relevant Rules (2.4 and 5.1) that were central to the Board's decision. The Board explicitly stated it ignored other citations, whether accurate or inaccurate, and proceeded to resolve the substantive labor dispute without sanctioning the applicant for the alleged AI usage or citation errors.

Operational lesson

Boards will ignore mischaracterized rule citations rather than sanction pro-se filers; volume filler risk.
