Summary

PIC procedural direction for self-represented litigants (commencing 14 July 2026) with a section on using Gen AI, social media and online resources.

Points recorded from the source

  • Self-represented parties must follow PIC Rules 33A and 33B and Procedural Direction PIC13 on Gen AI
  • Gen AI must not be used to draft, embellish or produce witness statements; breach may mean the statement is not considered
  • Do not rely on AI programs (such as Chat GPT, Claude or Google Gemini) for advice on whether you have a case; answers may reflect American or other non-NSW law
  • If using AI for submissions, check that every legislative reference and case exists and is relevant
  • Points to free databases such as AustLII and NSW Caselaw
