Why this matter warrants attention
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.
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.
Always run cite-checks in CanLII before filing; unlocatable authorities undermine the entire submission.
