Why this matter warrants attention
In Salah v. Peel Condominium Corporation No. 168, 2026 ONCAT 53, the Condominium Authority Tribunal rejected the owner’s claim that the condominium corporation had refused records without reasonable excuse. The tribunal found that core records had been supplied, that non-core records were available for stated fees, and that no penalty was warranted; it ordered the self-represented applicant to pay $2,000 in costs. In a separate caution, the member noted that the applicant first relied on a case that opposing counsel said did not exist, then insisted it was foundational and supplied a fictitious citation that actually belonged to another tribunal decision.…
The tribunal decided the records dispute on the governing request, fee, and production evidence. Its AI-related caution was not used to calculate costs, but reinforced the party’s responsibility to verify sources.
The order separates an accuracy warning from the merits and costs result, showing why a record must not overstate the consequence of a bad citation.

What this record does—and does not—establish
AI (implied, unspecified) is recorded in the source dataset; confirm the basis in the linked document.
The decision mentions the tribunal’s AI practice guide but does not find that AI generated the applicant’s citation. It directly finds a fictitious citation and records the later retraction.
Latest evidence review: Secondary Source Only (medium confidence).
Controls suggested by the public record
- Verify the neutral citation and the decision text before relying on a tribunal authority.
- Describe the $2,000 costs order as tied to the records proceeding, not as a sanction for the fictitious citation.
- Keep the retraction and the tribunal’s explicit limitation together in any public summary.
