In SAP A 1558/2025, the Eighth Section of the Alicante Provincial Court partially allowed an appeal concerning the extent of debt discharge in insolvency proceedings. Before reaching the merits, the court examined a passage in the appeal that attributed three quoted paragraphs to Spanish Supreme Court judgment STS 450/2025. The court stated that those paragraphs do not appear in that judgment and that the decision addressed the Insolvency Act in its original wording. It said the submission was either the product of artificial-intelligence hallucinations or an intention to deceive that exceeded the good-faith obligations of litigation.…
Why the court cared
The court found that the alleged quotation could not support the appeal because it was absent from the cited Supreme Court decision. It then referred the matter to the bar while deciding the insolvency appeal on its statutory merits.
Why it matters now
The ruling records a court’s explicit alternative framing—AI hallucination or intent to deceive—and makes the evidentiary boundary unusually clear.

It said the submission was either the product of artificial-intelligence hallucinations or an intention to deceive that exceeded the good-faith obligations of litigation. The court ordered that a copy of its ruling be sent to the Alicante Bar Association for any disciplinary action it considered appropriate. The appeal was partly allowed on the debt-discharge issue, without costs on appeal, while the referral followed the false quotation concern.
Operational lesson
Spanish appellate courts are now referring lawyers to the Colegio for fabricated quotes; always pull the original STS text.
