Why this matter is tracked
In an administrative proceeding before the Administrative Court of Cologne (VG Köln), a pro se litigant sought an interim injunction for access to municipal files. The court denied the application, finding that the applicant failed to demonstrate a legal claim for immediate access. During its assessment, the court observed that the applicant cited purported decisions of the Higher Administrative Court of North Rhine-Westphalia (OVG NRW) that were factually incorrect. The court explicitly noted that these erroneous citations suggested the applicant had drafted the submission using an AI tool and failed to verify the generated results, characterizing this as a case of 'AI hallucination.'
