Lawyers have cited fake cases generated by artificial intelligence in court proceedings in England, a judge has said — warning that attorneys could be prosecuted if they don’t check the accuracy of their research. In a ruling written by Sharp, the judges said that in a $120-million lawsuit over an alleged breach of a financing agreement involving the Qatar National Bank, a lawyer cited 18 cases that did not exist. The client in the case, Hamad Al-Haroun, apologized for unintentionally misleading the court with false information produced by publicly available AI tools, and said he was responsible, rather than his solicitor Abid Hussain. She said in the judgment that AI is a “powerful technology” and a “useful tool” for the law. “Artificial intelligence is a tool that carries with it risks as well as opportunities,” the judge said.

Duration is an award-winning brewery based in a former farm building in West Acre, near Swaffham, and its taproom sits in a barn on the same plot. The Times recently published an article highlighting the UK's top taprooms and Duration came in at number two. "With a large courtyard, grassed areas and nothing but fields and trees nearby, it’s the perfect taproom for summer - though the location is beautiful in winter too." The We Are Beers guide named Duration's 'Turtles All The Way Down' the 49th best beer of the year in 2024. In January 2025, 'Ebb and Flow' and 'Turtles All The Way Down' were celebrated as some of the best beers in Norfolk in a Campaign for Real Ale competition.

President Trump said on Friday that the United States and China would begin their second round of economic talks on Monday in London, resuming negotiations over tariffs and global supplies of rare earth minerals that have begun to threaten global economic growth. The American delegation will be led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Jamieson Greer, the United States trade representative, Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social. It was not immediately clear who would represent China, but He Lifeng, China’s vice premier for economic policy, led the previous round of talks in Switzerland. The talks come at a fragile moment for the global economy, which has been slowed by uncertainty and supply chain disruptions. The United States in April paused some of the tariffs that Mr. Trump imposed on dozens of countries to provide time for trade negotiations.

In an interview with the BBC ahead of the new series Cullen said: “There’s quite a large leap in terms of John Palmer from series one to series two. “This series follows the second half of the Brink’s-Mat gold and it’s also a story of the consequences faced by several of our key characters across the entire show.

The question of what is the fastest car in the world is a more complicated one in 2025 than it was 30 years ago. Back then, the fastest flat out also tended to be the quickest to 62mph and against the clock around a circuit. Today, those that have the highest Vmax which we’d traditionally call the fastest, aren’t necessarily the quickest to 62mph. The McLaren F1 went seven years unchallenged and undisputed, as the fastest car in the world.

The High Court of England and Wales warned lawyers on Friday that they could face criminal prosecution for presenting false material generated by artificial intelligence, after a series of cases cited made-up quotes and rulings that did not exist. The ruling by Victoria Sharp, president of the King’s Bench Division of the High Court, and a second judge, Jeremy Johnson, detailed two recent cases in which fake material was used in written legal arguments that were presented in court. In one case, a claimant and his lawyer admitted that A.I. tools had generated “inaccurate and fictitious” material in a lawsuit against two banks that was dismissed last month. In the other case, which ended in April, a lawyer for a man suing his local council said she could not explain where a series of nonexistent cases in the arguments had come from.
