R.G.L. n. 1018/2025
Tribunale di Torino · Sep 16, 2025
What happened in this matter?
The Turin Labor Court sanctioned the claimant for filing a meritless, AI-drafted submission characterized by abstract, irrelevant citations. The court imposed litigation costs and additional penalties totaling EUR 1,500 under Article 96 c.p.c., specifically citing the claimant's bad faith or gross negligence in presenting a filing that lacked any concrete connection to the case facts.
- Why the court cared
- The court reasoned that the filing was a 'coacervo' (jumble) of abstract citations lacking logical order or factual connection to the case, constituting bad faith or gross negligence under Art. 96 c.p.c.
- Why it matters now
- Italian tribunals are fining AI cites on autopilot; assume any unverified cite costs EUR 1,500+.
Why this matter is tracked
In R.G.L. n. 1018/2025, the Turin Labor Court rejected a claimant's challenge to collection notices, finding the claims manifesty unfounded and time-barred. The court noted that the claimant's filing, explicitly identified as drafted with the support of artificial intelligence, consisted of a disordered collection of abstract statutory and case law citations lacking any logical order or connection to the specific facts of the dispute. Consequently, the court dismissed the action and ordered the claimant to pay litigation costs, as well as additional sums for acting with bad faith or gross negligence under Article 96 of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure, including payments to the defendants and the public fines fund.
