So-and-so v. v. Anonymous
Israel · May 26, 2025
What happened in this matter?
The court identified the use of fabricated case law, which it attributed to the uncontrolled use of AI. While the court explicitly criticized this conduct, it did not impose a specific sanction, as the underlying motion was denied due to procedural delays and a lack of substantive evidence regarding the alleged transcript errors.
- Why the court cared
- The court reasoned that the applicant's motion was procedurally barred by significant delay and failed to identify specific, material errors in the transcript. Furthermore, the court noted that the applicant's reliance on non-existent case law demonstrated an uncontrolled use of AI, which the court deemed a serious matter requiring judicial response, though it did not warrant a separate sanction in this specific procedural context.
- Why it matters now
- Israeli courts flagged fabricated cites but declined sanctions this time; next uncontrolled AI use will draw discipline under Supreme Court guidance.
Why this matter is tracked
Fabricated: Case Law | Applicant cited non-existent case law; the court found some referenced judgments "do not exist at all" and warned about uncontrolled AI use. Outcome: AI use was noted by the lower court; no specific sanction for it. The Family Court noted that one motion cited case law that does "not exist at all". This raised "concern about uncontrolled use of artificial intelligence technology," referencing recent Supreme Court guidance on the need for an appropriate judicial response to such instances.On appeal, the District Court acknowledged the Family Court's finding regarding the non-existent case law and the suspicion of AI use. However, like the Family Court, it did not impose a separate sanction for this, as the appeal was dismissed primarily on the grounds of the delay and lack of merit concerning the protocol correction itself
