Why this matter warrants attention
The Massachusetts Land Court issued a warning regarding the use of fabricated case law by pro se litigants. The court identified that the defendants cited non-existent decisions, rejected reliance on those authorities, and preserved the invalid citations in the official record while proceeding to rule against the defendants on the merits of the underlying foreclosure dispute.
Fabricated: Case Law | Pro se parties cited a non-existent case (court found the cited decision does not appear at the citation and is not in reported SJC decisions). Court warned parties and rejected reliance on that authority.
