British workers are now hiring AI instead of lawyers to sue their own employers.

Litigants using AI to write their own claims have overwhelmed Britain's employment tribunals, judges say.

AI now does the drafting that once required a lawyer, so filing a claim costs the claimant nothing.

Judges must still read it, and so Britain's employment-tribunal backlog reached 64,000 open cases, up from 45,000 a year earlier.
