Droit de la famille — 261553
Quebec Court of Appeal · Oct 1, 2026
What happened in this matter?
Fabricated: Case Law | The appeal materials cited a judgment that did not exist. The court identified the reference as fabricated and treated it as a failure to verify AI-generated legal authorities. Outcome: The court found that the self-represented appellant used AI negligently without verifying the authorities. It ordered costs in favor of the respondent under article 340 C.C.P., but rejected the requested $10,000 monetary sanction.. The appellant’s appeal materials, prepared using artificial intelligence, contained two references to nonexistent judgments and one inaccurate reference to a cited paragraph. The Court of Appeal held that AI use is permissible only if the litigant verifies the accuracy of the authorities and complies with the Court’s AI notice. It characterized the conduct as negligence rather than bad faith; unlike a related case involving knowing use of fabricated authorities, the court imposed costs under article 340 C.C.P. rather than a separate $10,000 sanction.
