Why this matter warrants attention
The tribunal member identified the applicant's citations as likely AI-generated hallucinations and declined to address them, ruling that the tribunal is not obligated to consider arguments with no basis in law. The underlying claims were subsequently dismissed due to the applicant's failure to provide evidence of fault or damages.
Fabricated: Case Law | Applicant's submissions referred to cases that do not exist; tribunal concluded they were likely AI-generated hallucinations and declined to address those citations.
