When an AI Mistake Spirals into Criminal Contempt: Lessons from Ko v. Li, 2025 ONSC 6785
AI Criminal Contempt

What began as a relatively common 2025 mishap (a lawyer filing a factum containing several non-existent cases generated by ChatGPT) has evolved into one of the most significant judicial warnings yet about the responsibilities that accompany generative AI in legal practice. On 4 December 2025, Justice Myers released a meticulous 15-page endorsement in Ko v.

As an estates and trusts lawyer practicing in Ontario, I review many capacity and fiduciary duty disputes every year.

Sometimes the most instructive estate cases involve the smallest estates. This one was worth somewhere between $1,200 and $10,00, yet it produced a crystal-clear roadmap for anyone thinking of challenging (or defending) a will on capacity grounds. Overview The decision in Mitten (Peterson) v. Peterson, released on October 28, 2025, offers a clear and careful explanation of how Ontario courts approach challenges to a will based on concerns about mental capacity. The applicant, a separated spouse acting without a
