Why this matter warrants attention
The court identified multiple fabricated case citations in the litigant's submissions, which it attributed to the likely use of artificial intelligence. The court admonished the litigant for the waste of judicial resources caused by these non-existent authorities but declined to impose an immediate sanction, reserving the right to do so in the future.
Fabricated: Case Law | Wang cited 'Royal Bank v. Humaira, 2019 ONCA 667' which the court could not locate on CanLII; court concluded it was a non-existent authority likely generated by AI. || Fabricated: Case Law | Wang cited 'Royal Bank v. Rehmani, 2017 ONCA 615' which the court could not verify and found the neutral citation did not match the stated style of cause. || Fabricated: Case Law | Wang cited 'Royal Bank v. St-Onge, 2001 SKCA 117' but the court was unable to locate that style of cause and concluded it was erroneous. || Fabricated: Case Law | Wang cited 'Re H.Y. Louie Co. Ltd., 2001 BCSC 556' for contingent guarantee principles but the court could not verify the citation on CanLII and found it inconsistent with the authorities it purported to rely on.
Ontario SCJ admonishments for AI fabrications are stacking up in reported reasons — the public record compounds over time.
