Why this matter warrants attention
The applicant cited a non-existent case, 'Hodges v. Triathlon Canada,' in a request for reconsideration. Counsel admitted the citation was incorrect after the Tribunal could not locate it. The Adjudicator characterized the submission of fake cases as a failure to meet the professional obligation to verify authorities, noting that such conduct is an abuse of process.
