The Federal Court recently issued a practice direction: The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Court Proceedings. The Court also published guidelines on the Federal Court’s use of Artificial Intelligence. The practice notice and guidelines can be viewed at the links above.

The practice notice outlines that, "The Court expects parties to proceedings before the Court to inform it, and each other, if they have used artificial intelligence to create or generate new content in preparing a document filed with the Court." The practice notice applies to “all documents that are (i) submitted to the Court, and (ii) prepared for the purpose of litigation."
