Direct answer

What happened in this matter?

The court denied the petitioner's motion for legal costs, finding that counsel's use of AI to generate fabricated and erroneous case law constituted improper conduct. Although the court acknowledged the state's own procedural failures, it determined that the petitioner's reliance on AI-generated hallucinations precluded an award of costs.

Why the court cared
The court reasoned that while the state's conduct warranted criticism, the petitioner's counsel engaged in improper conduct by embedding non-existent and erroneous judgments via AI, which would have justified dismissal under Supreme Court precedent; consequently, no costs were awarded to the petitioner.
Why it matters now
Winning on merits still costs you fees if AI hallucinations taint the petition; clean filings come before good arguments.

Why this matter is tracked

Fabricated: Case Law | Petition and supplemental filing included many fabricated (non-existent) court decisions due to counsel's AI use; court noted Supreme Court precedent would justify dismissal. Outcome: Motion for Costs denied. "Regarding the petitioner, this is a case of improper conduct, to say the least, on the part of its counsel (who apologized for it), who made use of artificial intelligence in the petition and in the supplementary argument, in which many non-existent and/or erroneous judgments were inserted and embedded. In accordance with the Supreme Court's ruling, there would have been grounds, as a result, for dismissing the petition outright, but I did not do so due to the conduct of the state, as detailed above, and due to the importance of publishing the tender. However, in this case, there is no place to award costs in favor of the petitioner, due to this improper conduct (as, beyond that, the petition also requested many remedies, some of which are not within the jurisdiction of this court)."(Translation by Gemini 2.5.)

Operational lesson

Winning on merits still costs you fees if AI hallucinations taint the petition; clean filings come before good arguments.
