Direct answer

What happened in this matter?

The HPRB confirmed the College's registration decision, finding it reasonable and transparent. The panel chair explicitly noted that the applicant cited two unlocatable legal authorities, Singh v. CPSBC and Patel v. CPSBC, which the Board could not verify, suggesting the applicant may have relied on AI-generated hallucinations in his filings.

Why the court cared
Fabricated: Case Law | Applicant cited Singh v. CPSBC (2009 BCSC); the Review Board was unable to locate the decision and noted the citation may be in error. || Fabricated: Case Law | Applicant cited Patel v. CPSBC (2011 BCCA); the Review Board was unable to locate the decision and noted the citation may be in error.
Why it matters now

Why this matter is tracked

In a review of a registration decision by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia, the Health Professions Review Board (HPRB) confirmed the College's decision to deny an applicant's transfer to the restricted-family class. The applicant, a self-represented physician, argued that the College failed to exercise its discretion to recognize his substantial equivalency under the bylaws. During the proceedings, the applicant cited two specific legal precedents—Singh v. CPSBC (2009 BCSC) and Patel v. CPSBC (2011 BCCA)—to support his position. The HPRB panel chair noted that he was unable to locate either decision and suggested that the citations provided by the applicant were likely in error, potentially indicating the use of AI-generated hallucinations in the applicant's written submissions.

Operational lesson

Always run cite-checks in CanLII before filing; unlocatable authorities undermine the entire submission.
