Why this matter warrants attention
The tribunal refused permission to appeal, finding no realistic prospect of success. It identified multiple fabricated and misrepresented case citations in the respondent's submission, concluding that an AI tool was likely used to generate the grounds of appeal, which caused an unnecessary and disproportionate burden on tribunal resources.
Permission to appeal required a realistic prospect of success. The tribunal rejected the grounds on their merits and recorded the defective authorities as a separate explanation for why the submission burdened the process.
The decision documents a tribunal’s source-by-source verification process and the procedural cost of AI-assisted appellate grounds that have not been checked by the filer.
