Why this matter is tracked

In a labor dispute before the Tribunal administratif du travail (TAT), a pro se litigant filed a complaint under section 47.2 of the Labour Code alleging a breach of the duty of representation regarding internal union assembly procedures. The Tribunal determined that internal union governance falls outside its jurisdiction. During the proceedings, the litigant submitted two legal citations in support of her position. The Tribunal found that these cases do not exist and were likely fabricated by artificial intelligence. Consequently, the Tribunal disregarded the fabricated citations and summarily rejected the complaint for lack of jurisdiction, noting the litigant's failure to verify the authorities before submission.
