Judge Penalizes Lawyers For Not Using Artificial Intelligence

Lawyers, be forewarned: In what could be a foreshadowing of things to come, a judge has penalized two lawyers for failing to use artificial intelligence. The case comes to us by way of Ontario. It arose after a woman named Kristen Cass slipped and fell in a tavern in Port Dalhousie, a waterfront community on Lake Ontario, 30 minutes by car from Niagara Falls. The tavern owner defaulted, so her lawsuit proceeded solely against the building's owner, the Port Dalhousie Vitalization Corporation (PDVC). PDVC won summary judgment dismissing the action against it.
