Australian Lawyer Uses ChatGPT To File Court Documents With ‘Non-Existent’ Cases

An Australian lawyer was caught using ChatGPT to file court documents referenced as ‘non-existent’ cases. The Immigration minister stated that such conduct must be obstructed immediately as the Australian lawyer referred to the office of the NSW Legal Services Commissioner for consideration.

The Australian lawyer had been reported to a state legal complaints commission, after it was revealed that he had used artificial intelligence to create court filings for an immigration case. The artificial intelligence platform produced case citations that were not authentic.

In a ruling decision by the federal circuit and family court, Justice Rania Skaros referred the lawyer, who had his name withheld from the ruling, to the Office of the NSW Legal Services Commissioner (OLSC) for further assessment.
