EFD USA, INC., et al. v. Band Pro Film and Digital, Inc., et al.

Fabricated: Case Law | Appellant quoted Lilienthal as stating tests for distinct claims ('(1) times of services performed; (2) specific obligations involved; and (3) resulting damages'), but the quotation does not appear in Lilienthal and the case does not address settlement offsets. || Fabricated: Case Law | Appellant quoted Rudick as stating that failure to respond waives an objection; the cited Rudick decision does not include that quotation. || Fabricated: Case Law | Appellant attributed a quotation about using extrinsic evidence to interpret a settlement reached in mediation (with arbitration clause) to Riverisland; the quoted language does not appear in Riverisland. || Fabricated: Case Law | Appellant attributed an objective-contract interpretation quotation to Leaf v. City of San Mateo; the Leaf opinion does not contain the quoted language and did not involve a contested contract. || Fabricated: Case Law | Appellant cited Milstein for the proposition 'a judgment by default admits all material allegations of the complaint,' but Milstein does not contain that language as quoted. || Fabricated: Case Law | Multiple additional fabricated quotations and inaccurate descriptions of legal authorities appeared across the opening and reply briefs, attributed by counsel to use of an AI system that altered citations during word-count reduction.
