Nova Scotia Labour Board · Sep 15, 2026
What happened in this matter?
Fabricated: Case Law | The appellant cited a nonexistent decision and attributed a three-part reprisal test to it. The Board verified that the case did not exist, that file 2209 was unrelated, and that the stated test differed from the genuine Wooten authority. Outcome: Appeal dismissed; the Officer’s decision was upheld. No specific sanction was imposed for the fabricated authority.. The self-represented appellant relied on a purported decision, “Wootton v. Nova Scotia (Department of Labour), Nova Scotia Labour Board Decision 2209,” and attributed a legal test to it. The Board found that the cited case did not exist and that Board file 2209 concerned an unrelated matter; the asserted test also differed meaningfully from the genuine Wooten authority. Counsel for HRCE identified the problem, and the Board warned that authorities must be authenticated, reproduced, and any generative-AI use disclosed. The Board nevertheless dismissed the appeal on the merits and imposed no separate sanction for the hallucinated authority.
