B., V. E. v. C., B. R. Y.
CA Córdoba · Sep 5, 2025
What happened in this matter?
The court denied the defendant's cassation appeal and declared the attorney's work ineffective due to the inclusion of fabricated case law. Consequently, the court refused to award professional fees to the attorney for the appeal, citing the failure to verify AI-generated research, and issued a formal recommendation for future professional diligence.
- Why the court cared
- The court reasoned that the attorney's reliance on unverified AI-generated citations violated the duty of professional diligence, probity, and good faith. It emphasized the 'human reservation' principle, stating that AI must serve as a support tool rather than a replacement for professional judgment, and that counsel bears ultimate responsibility for the accuracy of all court submissions.
- Why it matters now
- Losing fees on the entire appeal is the new price of unverified AI research — treat cite-checking as billable QA.
Why this matter is tracked
Fabricated: Case Law | Cita de Cámara local indicada en el recurso que no fue localizada: Cám. Civ. y Com. de 1ª Nom. de Córdoba, 'Pérez, R. c/ S., J. y otros s/ Posesión veinteañal', 05/06/2020. Outcome: Counsel's Work not Counted for Costs. El tribunal verificó que varias sentencias invocadas por la recurrente no pudieron ser halladas en repertorios oficiales; asumió, por el beneficio de la duda, que ello provino del mal uso de herramientas de IA y advirtió la obligación profesional de verificar fuentes. Se impone recomendación al letrado y se declaran inoficiosos sus trabajos en el recurso (sin condena disciplinaria formal).
