The appellants appealed a Small Claims Court decision dismissing their claim against an immigration consultant for failing to obtain a US visa.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding no error in the trial judge's requirement that the appellants provide their own certified interpreter, no reasonable apprehension of bias, and no error in dismissing the claim due to the lack of expert evidence on the standard of care.
The court declined to award costs to the successful respondents to sanction their apparent use of Generative AI, which resulted in the citation of non-existent case law and rules in their factum.
