High court claimant was fed answers through his smart glasses, judge finds

"It was later ascertained that Mr Jakstys was wearing smart glasses. I asked him to remove them before continuing with his cross examination. After a few further questions, when the interpreter was in the process of translating a question, Mr Jakstys's mobile phone started broadcasting out loud with the voice of someone talking. There was clearly someone on the mobile phone talking to Mr Jakstys."

"In my judgment, the smart glasses were clearly connected to his mobile phone during his cross examination because no voice was heard out loud until his smart glasses were removed and disconnected. That lacks any credibility."

During high court proceedings in London, claimant Laimonas Jakstys was discovered wearing smart glasses connected to his mobile phone while testifying. Judge Raquel Agnello KC observed him pausing before answering questions and heard interference through his interpreter. When defence counsel requested he remove his glasses, a voice subsequently broadcast from his mobile phone. Jakstys falsely claimed the voice was ChatGPT, but the judge found this explanation lacked credibility. The judge determined the smart glasses were clearly connected to his phone during cross-examination and that his witness statements were prepared by others, likely a Lithuanian lawyer. Jakstys was found to have been untruthful in denying his use of the smart glasses.
