Why this matter warrants attention
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.
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.
Losing fees on the entire appeal is the new price of unverified AI research — treat cite-checking as billable QA.
