The Irish High Court issued Practice Direction HC142 effective 1 September 2026, establishing detailed rules on generative AI use in civil proceedings. It mandates human verification of AI-generated submissions, requires declarations on AI use in witness and expert evidence, and sets penalties for non-compliance.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Legal Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must implement strict human checks for any AI-generated legal content to avoid court sanctions in Ireland. This change turns AI from a convenience into a compliance risk that can block your case if ignored.
