Incident 11381 Report
Rodrigues Blignaut Attorneys Reportedly Relied on Unverified ChatGPT Case Law in Johannesburg Body Corporate Defamation Matter

2023-03-01

In a defamation case at the Johannesburg Regional Court, Rodrigues Blignaut Attorneys, representing plaintiff Michelle Parker, reportedly relied on purportedly non-existent legal judgments generated by ChatGPT to help argue their case. Magistrate Arvin Chaitram reportedly found the case names and citations were fictitious, causing a two-month delay. The court issued a punitive costs order and rebuked the plaintiff's legal team for uncritically accepting AI-generated research.
