Why this matter warrants attention
The Delaware Court of Chancery issued a formal warning to a pro se defendant after he included a non-existent case citation in his filing, which the court identified as likely generated by AI. The court ordered the defendant to comply with discovery obligations and cautioned that future failures would result in renewed motions for sanctions.
Fabricated: Case Law | Defendant cited Hudson v. Wesley Coll., 2018 WL 2435541, at 3 (Del. Ch. May 30, 2018), which the court found does not exist and called erroneous (likely AI-generated).
This record documents a Pro Se Litigant filing issue in Delaware Ch., with the listed outcome: Warning.
