Malcolm Cork & Anor v Smith [2026] EWHC 1199 (Ch) (22 May 2026) – BAILII

‘Having considered the AI transcript chats it seems to me that the production of the letters may well have resulted from a serious lack of care and of judgment on the part of LA (Lawyer A) rather than a want of honesty. There is nothing to suggest that LA checked any of the references generated by the AI and LA seems to have almost entirely outsourced the thinking process to the program. LA did remove the quotation marks from around the Purported Text but failed to do anything else to alter its presentation as a genuine statutory provision, or tell their supervisors, and seems to have subsequently thought that what had been presented was a paraphrase. That is suggestive of lack of care, rather than something even more serious.’
