In the last few years in the UK, the USA, Canada, Ireland and other jurisdictions, cases have been reported where submissions were made to a court where the author of a document used generative AI tools such as ChatGPT to create those documents. This has wasted court time, resulted in submissions being rejected or even resulted in changes to cost awards.
