Why this matter warrants attention
The Tribunal confirmed the complainant relied on a non-existent case citation but declined to make a finding regarding the respondent's allegation that the error was caused by AI. The Tribunal upheld the dismissal of the complaint on the merits, noting the complainant failed to provide objective evidence to support her religious accommodation claim.
Fabricated: Case Law | Complainant relied on a non-existent case cited as authority; Tribunal found there is no such authority and treated the citation as erroneous, noting respondent alleged AI/LLM produced it but declining to find that.
Opposing counsel should flag suspected AI fabrications on the record; it shifts the burden and preserves cost arguments.
