The woman’s legal papers referenced some real cases but misquoted them, the WRC was told. The adjudicator asked: “Ms Maclou, have you been getting a bit of AI assistance putting your case together?”“Of course, I’m just one person,” the complainant replied. One disclosure was on “equality and pay compliance” when “one person was paid paternity leave and one was not”; while another related to a data protection matter, Ms Maclou said. She told Ms Maclou she was to “take a look” at her August 2025 submission and “re-edit” it. The adjudicator adjourned the matter until the end of February for the exchange of new legal submissions.
