Why this matter warrants attention
The Tribunal denied the applicant's request for reconsideration after finding that the applicant submitted fabricated judicial quotations and misrepresented legal propositions from Supreme Court of Canada precedents. The Adjudicator emphasized that parties, including self-represented litigants, have an affirmative obligation to verify the existence and accuracy of all cited authorities.
False Quotes: Case Law | Applicant attributed a direct judicial quotation to Nelles v. Ontario that does not appear in the decision; Tribunal found the quotation and propositions relied upon are not in the case. || False Quotes: Case Law | Applicant summarized Morier and Boily v. Rivard in ways that included propositions and a direct quotation not found in the decision; Tribunal identified the misattribution. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Applicant relied on Mackeigan v. Hickman but provided quotations and factual inferences not present in the decision; Tribunal concluded the case was mischaracterized.
Human rights tribunals catch misattributed judicial quotations line by line against Supreme Court of Canada sources.
