RR v. Fraser Health Authority and others (No.3)

Direct answer

What happened in this matter?

The Tribunal concluded that the 13 case authorities cited by the complainant were likely AI-generated and non-existent after the Respondents successfully replicated the summaries using ChatGPT. The Tribunal declined to award costs, finding no evidence of a deliberate attempt to mislead, but reaffirmed that litigants are responsible for verifying the accuracy of all materials submitted.

Why the court cared
The Tribunal reasoned that while the use of AI tools is increasingly common, parties must exercise diligence to ensure AI output does not supersede their own judgment. Citing Duarte v. City of Richmond and Wu v. Murray, the Tribunal held that the human behind the tool remains responsible for all submissions. Because the Tribunal had not yet published a specific policy on AI use and found no evidence of intentional deception, it declined to award costs for the improper conduct.

Why this matter is tracked

In an employment discrimination complaint before the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal, the complainant (RR) submitted 13 case authorities in her written submissions that could not be located by the Respondents or the Tribunal. The Respondents demonstrated that these citations, when entered into ChatGPT, produced summaries similar to those provided by RR, leading to the conclusion that the cases were likely AI-generated and non-existent. The Tribunal noted that while the use of AI tools can assist self-represented litigants, it carries the risk of generating false information. The Tribunal found that RR did not purposely attempt to mislead the process, but emphasized that parties remain responsible for the accuracy of all information submitted to the Tribunal.
