Wills and Aiadaui v Wilson

Direct answer

What happened in this matter?

The Tribunal found that the applicants used an AI program that produced hallucinations, specifically citing a non-existent legislative section and misattributing a case citation. The Deputy President warned that while AI can serve as a starting point, parties must verify all generated text for legal and factual accuracy to avoid wasting the Tribunal's time and potential cost sanctions.

Why the court cared
Fabricated: Case Law | Applicants cited a case allegedly called 'Reynolds' with a citation that actually corresponds to a different case; Tribunal concluded this was part of an AI hallucination/misattribution. || Fabricated: Legal Norm | Applicants relied on a non-existent section of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 1998 (Vic); Tribunal found the cited section does not exist and concluded it was an AI-generated fabrication.
Why it matters now
This record documents a Pro Se Litigant filing issue in Victorian CAT, with the listed outcome: no adjudicated outcome recorded.

Why this matter is tracked

In a retail tenancy dispute before the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), the applicants, appearing pro se, relied on AI-generated submissions to oppose a summary dismissal application. The Tribunal identified that the applicants cited a non-existent section of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 1998 (Vic) and provided a case citation for 'Reynolds' that corresponded to an entirely different matter. The presiding Deputy President concluded these were AI-generated hallucinations. While the Tribunal rejected the respondent's jurisdictional challenge, it explicitly cautioned parties against using AI tools without verifying the accuracy and relevance of the output, noting that submitting inaccurate AI-generated text wastes the Tribunal's time and could lead to future cost orders.
