Deputy President Michael Easton ruled in Sadnan Khan's unfair-dismissal claim against ALDI that Khan's AI-generated legal advice was "plain wrong" and that he used ChatGPT as a quasi-legal advisor despite repeated warnings his case had no substantial prospects. Easton wrote that "if Mr Khan had properly read his own AI generated replies … he would have known that his case was doomed," and ordered $1,230 toward ALDI's costs, a step the tribunal called rare. (ABC News) The failure mode wasn't hallucination. It was asking the wrong legal question and never reading the output closely enough to notice the answer said he'd lose.
