Yes. You can use AI to prepare your case before the Federal Court. But if a document you file contains content created or generated by AI, you must include a Declaration in its first paragraph saying so.

Notice to the Parties and the Profession: The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Court Proceedings (Updated: May 7, 2024)

• The Court expects you to inform it, and the other parties, if a document you file that was prepared for litigation contains content created or generated by AI. This is done through a Declaration in the first paragraph stating that AI was used, either in the document’s entirety or only for specifically identified paragraphs.
• A Declaration is required whenever content was created or generated directly by AI, including where AI’s role resembles that of a co-author. It is not required where AI only suggested changes, made recommendations, or critiqued content a human created and then implemented themselves.
• The Notice does not apply to Certified Tribunal Records submitted by tribunals or other third-party decision-makers, or to expert reports, which disclose AI use through the Expert Witnesses Code of Conduct referred to in Rule 52.2 of the Federal Courts Rules.
• Use caution with AI-generated legal references and analysis. When referring to jurisprudence, statutes, policies or commentaries, rely only on well-recognized and reliable sources such as official court websites, commonly referenced commercial publishers, or trusted public services like CanLII.
• Keep a human in the loop: verify any AI-created content before you file it. The party signing a document submitted to the Court bears responsibility for the accuracy and veracity of its contents.
• Including a Declaration will not, by itself, attract an adverse inference from the Court.

Yes. You can use AI to prepare your appeal before the Social Security Tribunal of Canada. But its AI Practice Direction asks you to tell the Tribunal when you have used AI, and to verify any AI-generated law or case references against an official source before you rely on them.

Practice Direction: Using Artificial Intelligence in Appeals at the Social Security Tribunal (Effective July 9, 2026)

• You are responsible for the accuracy of everything you file; AI output can be wrong, so double-check its results and sources.
• If AI-generated text references a law or decision, verify it against an official source (the SST’s decisions site or CanLII) and read it to confirm it says what the AI claims. If you can’t find the case, it may not exist.
• When filing AI-generated material that mentions a decision, include the neutral citation and a hyperlink, or provide a copy if there’s no neutral citation.
• Let the Tribunal know when you’ve used AI. A member may ask whether you used it, require hyperlinks or copies of cited decisions, or have you resubmit arguments containing AI-generated errors.
• A member may give AI-generated information that contains errors less weight.

Yes. You can use AI to prepare your case before the Trademarks Opposition Board. But if AI created or generated content in a document you file, the first paragraph must contain the Board’s prescribed declaration.

Practice Notice: Use of AI in Proceedings Before the Trademarks Opposition Board (Published: June 4, 2025)

• If AI was used to create or generate content in a document filed in a proceeding under section 11.13, 38 or 45 of the Trademarks Act, the first paragraph of that document must contain the prescribed declaration set out below.
• The declaration covers the document either in its entirety or only for specifically identified paragraphs. You may add language explaining how or where AI was used, but you are not required to.
• A declaration is expected only where generative AI created content. This includes written representations drafted using AI, any document citing a legal authority that AI selected subjectively, and state of the register evidence generated subjectively by AI.
• No declaration is needed for document editing, voice recognition or speech-to-text software, or for exhibits originally created with AI that were not prepared for the proceeding.
• Failure to provide a declaration when required, or providing a false declaration, may constitute unreasonable conduct leading to an award of costs against the non-compliant party.

Yes. You can use AI to prepare your case before the Canadian International Trade Tribunal. But read these rules first:

Practice Notice: Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) (Effective: January 30, 2026)

• You may use AI tools to assist with your participation in proceedings, including drafting, researching and summarizing. Using AI will not, on its own, lead to a negative interpretation of your submissions.
• All AI-assisted content must be independently verified. Case names and citations, quoted passages, statutory provisions and legal interpretation produced by AI must be checked before filing.
• Rely on authoritative legal sources: official court, Tribunal and government websites, established commercial legal publishers, and trusted public services such as CanLII. Authorities must be submitted in accordance with the Practice Notice on Citing Authorities.
• You have full responsibility for the accuracy and reliability of any document you sign or file, whether or not AI helped prepare it.
• Counsel who have been granted access to third party confidential information by the Tribunal are strictly prohibited from inputting that information into any AI tool.

• Use reliable sources: AI might give you incorrect or made-up legal sources. Verify information directly against trusted sources such as court websites, official publishers, or recognized legal databases like CanLII.
• You are responsible for the accuracy of your written and oral submissions, even if AI helped prepare them.
• Tribunal members do not use AI to write decisions or analyze evidence, and remain fully accountable for their decision-making.

Yes. You can use AI to prepare your case before the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board. But read these rules first:

Practice Direction: Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Board Proceedings (Last modified: May 6, 2026)

• AI can be a powerful tool, but the Board warns of three dangers: AI can be wrong, AI can hallucinate (inventing cases, statutes and other legal sources), and AI can copy from published texts.
• Always check that any case, statute or other legal document AI has provided to you is real, using court websites, official statute websites, the Board website, and legal databases like CanLII.
• Mandatory: if case law is referred to in a submission, it must be accompanied by a citation and an electronic link (hyperlink) to the decision itself. If a link is not possible, a copy of the case must be attached to the submission.
• Submissions that do not include hyperlinks or copies of the authorities relied on will be returned and must be re-filed properly. Repeated failure may result in submissions not being accepted for filing, or other consequences determined by the panel.
• Decision-making at the Board is a human responsibility. Board members hear cases and make decisions based on the evidence and submissions of the parties.

Yes. You can use AI to prepare your case before the Canada Industrial Relations Board. But if you use generative AI to help prepare a document, you must declare it in the first paragraph of that document, name the tool, and identify how and when it was used and which parts it generated.

Policy on the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence by Parties (Policy No. 12) (Effective: November 1, 2025)

• If you use generative AI to help prepare a document for the Board, you must clearly say so in the first paragraph of the document. For clarity, uses of AI to help prepare a document include drafting, research and translating.
• You must also name the AI tool used, identify how and when it was used, and specify which parts of the document were generated by AI.
• Do not use generative AI to create the content of evidence, such as witness statements or affidavits.
• If you refer to case law in your submissions, you must include a citation and an electronic link to the decision. If an electronic link is not possible, attach a copy of the case to your submissions.
• Non-compliance may lead the Board to reject all or part of a submission, or to dismiss the application or complaint.
