- Why the court cared
- Fabricated: Case Law | Court found 'nález' sp. zn. III. ÚS 3881/18 does not exist; cited as supporting the same line of argument. || Fabricated: Case Law | Cited ECHR decision 'Stefan v. Rumunsko, č. st. 57001/10, § 36' was not found in HUDOC with that application number/paragraph and appears inaccurately cited. || Fabricated: Case Law | Court found 'nález' sp. zn. III. ÚS 2987/18 does not exist; it was cited as supporting that 'mechanické užití § 104a je protiústavní'. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Citation II. ÚS 2264/14 was cited as a 'nález' supporting the claimed conclusion, but under that file number only an unrelated usnesení rejecting a complaint for lack of counsel exists. || Fabricated: Case Law | Court found no 'nález' sp. zn. III. ÚS 433/17; thus it could not have held that 'odmítnutí kasační stížnosti nesmí vést k formálnímu znemožnění přezkumu důležitých otázek'. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Lawyer claimed Pl. ÚS 17/10 'výslovně varoval před užitím nepravomocných trestních stíhání...', but the Court found the cited decision contains no such express warning.

Why this matter is tracked
The Czech Constitutional Court (Ústavní soud) imposed a 25,000 CZK disciplinary fine on an attorney for filing a constitutional complaint containing multiple fabricated and misrepresented legal authorities. The Court found that the attorney cited non-existent case law (e.g., III. ÚS 2987/18, III. ÚS 3881/18, III. ÚS 433/17) and grossly misinterpreted others to support arguments against the Supreme Administrative Court. The Court determined that the volume and nature of these errors exceeded simple clerical mistakes, constituting a gross obstruction of proceedings under § 61(1) of the Act on the Constitutional Court. The fine was set at one-quarter of the statutory maximum, acknowledging this was the attorney's first such offense.
