Why this matter warrants attention
The tribunal dismissed most of the applicant's claims, finding she failed to prove the strata received her cheques. However, the tribunal granted partial relief by ordering the strata to remove a lien administration fee from the applicant's account, as the strata failed to justify the charge under the Strata Property Act.
The tribunal member determined that the applicant's citations of non-existent CRT cases and incorrect statutory sections were likely AI-generated hallucinations. Relying on precedent (AQ v. BW, 2025 BCCRT 907), the tribunal held it was not required to address arguments lacking a basis in law. Regarding the lien, the tribunal applied the principle from Kim v. Section 1 of The Owners, Strata Plan LMS 1866 (2022 BCCRT 1197), finding that a strata corporation cannot charge a lien administration fee without providing a specific explanation for the fee's nature.
Tribunals silently discount entire arguments when AI-generated citations permeate submissions.
