Fabricated: Case Law | Appellants relied on a non-existent case summary titled Flynn v. Breitenbach to argue foreign judgments cannot be enforced after the originating state's limitation period; the Court confirmed the citation does not exist and appellants later apologised.
Misrepresented: Legal Norm | Appellants asserted that a court seal, notarisation, and an apostille were required to authenticate the Danish judgment for registration; the Court held the governing rules do not prescribe such methods.
Misrepresented: Exhibits & Submissions | Appellants claimed the Annex V certificate was incomplete and missing the certified judgment and translation; the Court found Annex V was properly issued on 10 August 2023 and the authentic copy and certified translation were provided.
Misrepresented: Exhibits & Submissions | Appellants alleged the Danish judgment copy was non-certified and bore the wrong logo, implying inauthenticity; the Court found the judgment authentic and the translation unimpeached.
Misrepresented: Legal Norm | Appellants argued the 10-year Danish limitation expired at midnight on 15 August 2023 (excluding the corresponding month-day); the Court held s.27(1) DLA includes the corresponding day, so 16 August 2023 was within time.
