Great, we will go from slop reports in security to slop lawsuits.

Point well taken. :-)

I actually touch on this exact risk at the very end of the post. AI can automate drafting and knowledge retrieval, but that is only a fraction of the overall process.

The legal system is fundamentally slow, by design. It still took 11 months of waiting for agencies, airlines, and courts to move. That inherent slowness is creating friction to filter out low-effort "slop"; that latency partially accomplishes that.

OP here. I wrote this up because the discourse around AI in legal contexts usually swings between "it replaces everyone" and "it hallucinates case law and gets you sanctioned." This was the case in the middle, where it actually shone: navigating an international dispute in a foreign conciliation court (the Norwegian Forliksråd), where even finding a human lawyer with all the necessary knowledge would be challenging, and paying one would be completely inefficient.

As I note at the end, the AI eliminated the knowledge bottleneck, but it still took 11 months of waiting for companies, agencies, and courts to reply.

Happy to answer questions about the routing or the EU261 technicalities. And to preempt the obvious one: a credit card chargeback only covers the original ticket cost. This was about getting the statutory €600/passenger penalty plus our overnight care expenses (and it was mainly the latter that prompted the whole story; Norse would probably have saved money if it had just arranged hotel rooms instead of handing us a $25 voucher).
