The Supreme Court of Tasmania guidelines for court users, as at 21 October 2026. They commence that day. Court users are not required to certify Gen AI use. They must verify content, disclose if asked, and be able to explain the tool and the check.

## Key facts

- Practice area: [Commercial Litigation & Dispute Resolution](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/commercial-litigation-and-dispute-resolution.md)
- Jurisdictions: Australia, Tasmania

## Used for these tasks

- [Check a court document against the AI practice note before filing](https://ailawframework.com/practice/commercial-litigation-and-dispute-resolution/check-a-court-document-against-the-ai-practice-note-before-filing.md)

## How AI may be used

Paragraph 3.6 requires an affidavit or witness statement to reflect the person's own knowledge, experience and words. The lawyer and the witness write that document. AI may keep the explanation note paragraph 4.5 expects the person to be able to give.

**AI may:**

- Record the tool, how it was used, and the checks a person made
- List the paragraph 4.2 verification items beside the draft

**AI must not:**

- Must not generate the affidavit, witness statement or the expert's opinion
- Must not add a certificate. Paragraph 4.4 says court users are not required to certify the use of Gen AI
- Must not rely on a Gen AI tool as the only check of AI-generated content
- Must not put confidential, privileged or suppressed information into a tool that is not a closed tool

**The lawyer checks:**

- The affidavit or witness statement reflects the person's own knowledge, experience and words, and is true to the best of that person's knowledge
- The expert report contains the expert's own opinion and reasoning, and the relevant practice direction and code are opened. They were not opened for this checklist
- Facts, evidence, cases, legislation, textbooks and articles have been checked by a person
- Images, video and sound have not been modified, enhanced or fabricated
- The person can explain, if asked, which tool was used, how, and what was done to check the content
