Rajabi c. Lassalle
TAL Montréal · Nov 1, 2024
What happened in this matter?
The Tribunal administratif du logement authorized the landlords' repossession request after finding the tenant's cited legal authorities were untraceable. The court did not impose sanctions for the citations, nor did it explicitly attribute the untraceable references to AI, though the case is tracked for the presence of hallucinated legal citations in a pro se filing.
- Why the court cared
- The tribunal applied the statutory repossession test to the parties’ evidence; the untraceable references did not substitute for that analysis.
- Why it matters now
- This primary decision contains untraceable authorities in a fact-driven housing dispute without an AI finding.
Why this matter is tracked
Quebec's Tribunal administratif du logement considered landlords' request to repossess a Montreal apartment for their own occupancy. The tenant opposed the request and cited Roussel(le) c. Bergeron, 2011 QCRDL 2005 CanLII, and Bureau c. Maison, 2005 QCRLD 12345 CanLII. The tribunal expressly stated that both references were untraceable. It then evaluated the parties' evidence about intended occupancy, finances, and the tenant's objections under the Quebec Civil Code repossession framework. The decision contains no AI attribution or separate citation sanction. The cited decision identifies the court, parties, date, and disposition stated here.

French-language tribunals catch fake CanLII cites just as fast — jurisdiction is no shield.
