Why this matter warrants attention
The Tribunal of Siracusa sanctioned the plaintiff 2,000 EUR for litigation misconduct after counsel submitted multiple fabricated case law citations. The court verified that the quoted passages did not exist in the authentic rulings, which were provided by the defendant to disprove the plaintiff's arguments.
False Quotes: Case Law | Counsel attributed a quoted maxim to Cass. civ., sez. III, 11 aprile 2006, n. 8379 which the Tribunal determined is not present in the authentic ruling; opposing party produced the true text. || False Quotes: Case Law | Counsel quoted a purported textual passage attributed to Cass. civ., sez. III, 4 febbraio 2000, n. 1216 that the court found does not appear in that decision; opposing party produced the authentic text disproving the quote. || False Quotes: Case Law | Counsel cited a purported passage on litisconsorzio as from Cass. civ., sez. I, 3 ottobre 2003, n. 14795; the court found the quoted passage does not correspond to that decision. || False Quotes: Case Law | Counsel quoted a passage on creditor's free choice attributed to Cass. civ., sez. III, 5 marzo 2004, n. 4553 which the Tribunal verified is not contained in that ruling.
Pull every quoted Cassazione passage from the authentic ruling — opposing counsel will produce the true text and you will pay.
