‘In September 2025, the General Division of the High Court of Singapore delivered one of the most important decisions to date on the use of artificial intelligence in legal practice. The case of Tajudin bin Gulam Rasul and another v Suriaya bte Haja Mohideen [2025] SGHCR 33 addressed the professional duties of advocates and solicitors when relying on AI-assisted tools for research and drafting. The Court imposed a personal costs order against counsel who cited a fictitious case generated by a generative AI application, making it clear that Singapore lawyers must independently verify all material filed in court. The ruling has attracted wide attention as the first Singapore judgment to penalise improper reliance on AI in litigation, and it serves as an authoritative warning to the legal profession.’
