Why this matter is tracked
In a proceeding before the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL), a pro se tenant sought a retraction of a prior eviction decision, citing a purported legal precedent, 'Événtail Habitation inc. c. X, 2023 QCTAL 150'. The tribunal found the cited jurisprudence to be unlocatable and concluded it was likely generated by artificial intelligence. The tribunal rejected the tenant's retraction request, noting it was meritless and intended to delay the execution of an eviction order. Consequently, the tribunal granted the landlord's request for a procedural limitation, barring the tenant from filing further requests in the matter without prior authorization from the President of the tribunal or their designee.
