Why this matter warrants attention
The Bordeaux Administrative Court of Appeal rejected the appeal as manifestly unfounded and issued a formal warning to counsel regarding the submission of fabricated and irrelevant case law citations.
Fabricated: Case Law | Counsel cited 'CE, 7 février 2018, n° 409302'; the court states this decision does not exist. || Fabricated: Case Law | Counsel cited 'CE, 11 janvier 2007, Association SOS Racisme'; the court states this decision does not exist. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Counsel cited 'CE, 23 septembre 1987, Ministre du travail c/ Sté Ambulances 2000'; the court notes this decision concerns employment-training contract restrictions and is not relevant to the present matter (misapplied precedent). || Misrepresented: Case Law | Counsel cited 'CE, 14 novembre 2018, n° 420055'; the court states this decision concerns abusive requests to the administration and is not on point (misapplied precedent). || Misrepresented: Case Law | Counsel cited 'TC, 17 juin 2019, n° 4153'; the court observes this decision deals with jurisdictional competence regarding equality before public burdens and is not relevant to the appellant's claim (misapplied precedent). || Misrepresented: Case Law | Counsel cited 'CE, 25 août 2025, Commune de Massat'; the court notes this decision concerns freedom of worship in référé liberté and is not applicable to the case at hand (misapplied precedent).
Misapplied precedent is as damaging as fabrication — read every cited case in full before relying on it.

What this record does—and does not—establish
The court refers to the risk of 'hallucination' or 'confabulation' in references found by 'any means'.
Retained unchanged after audit: the existing summary is source-specific, non-placeholder, and supported by the recorded source link. Read the underlying source before relying on it for legal advice or a filing.

Controls suggested by the public record
