Why this matter warrants attention
Fabricated: Case Law | One of three purported BGH decisions quoted verbatim in the counsel's brief was a complete fabrication; the referenced fundstelle, date and Aktenzeichen do not exist. Outcome: Court found the cited BGH decisions to be complete fabrications, admonished counsel for relying on or presenting invented authorities; no professional sanction was imposed in this decision.. The plaintiff's counsel submitted a brief (10.08.2025) containing three purported BGH decisions quoted verbatim with fundstellen, dates, and Aktenzeichen. The court determined these citations were complete fabrications (non-existent references and inappropriate ZB-Aktenzeichen) and noted the counsel later admitted the falsity; the court observed that common chatbots can 'halluzinate' such authorities but held that a lawyer must verify sources and not incorporate unverified chatbot output into filings. The court applied this reasoning in evaluating the merits and admonished the professional duty to verify citations, but did not impose disciplinary sanctions in this order.
