UK EAT warns over unchecked 300-page ChatGPT skeleton argument

The UK Employment Appeal Tribunal has issued a warning over the submission of an unchecked 300-page skeleton argument prepared with AI assistance. The tribunal criticised the filing and indicated that future submissions of this nature may be rejected outright.

The development signals that legal teams must put mandatory citation verification in place before any generated work reaches a court. The tribunal’s position also points to the need for accountable sign-off by qualified lawyers and proportionality controls governing the volume and content of AI-assisted filings.
