Why this matter warrants attention
The Supreme Court of Colombia quashed an appellate order because the lower court relied on two fabricated legal citations attributed to the Supreme Court. The court determined that the quoted passages were nonexistent, rendering the lower court's decision legally unsupported and a violation of due process.
