Why this matter warrants attention
The Council for Alien Law Litigation referred counsel to the Bar after determining that a translated exhibit submitted by the applicant was misleading and apparently generated using artificial intelligence. The court found that the document had been altered to remove the signatory's official function, constituting a breach of professional conduct before the tribunal.
The Council determined that the submission of an altered translation of a transfer decision, which omitted the signatory's official function, was a misleading act. The court explicitly linked the creation of this document to the use of artificial intelligence and deemed the conduct sufficient to warrant a referral to the Bar.
Never submit AI-altered documentary exhibits; courts treat modified translations as misleading the tribunal.
