Why this matter warrants attention
The court found that 31 of 32 cited cases were fabricated by an unreliable computerized system. It ruled that counsel cannot delegate the duty of verification to staff or technology, stating that such conduct warrants dismissal of the claim and the imposition of costs for wasting judicial time.
The court reasoned that counsel is professionally responsible for the accuracy of all filings and cannot shift blame to staff or automated tools. It determined that submitting non-existent authorities constitutes a lack of clean hands and a waste of public judicial resources.
