What was hallucinated

False Quotes: Case Law | Reply included a block quote attributed to paragraph 150 of a cited case, but the case has only 124 paragraphs; the quoted passage does not exist and the court flagged it as false/misleading. || Misrepresented: Case Law | Submissions cited the same case for legal propositions the case does not discuss; the court found these citations misleading or unsupported.

Re X Corp.

What happened

In BC Civil Resolution Tribunal, Canada, a filing relied on an unnamed/unconfirmed AI tool to help draft legal argument. The court identified the following problems with the citations in that filing:

  • False Quotes (Case Law)
    Reply included a block quote attributed to paragraph 150 of a cited case, but the case has only 124 paragraphs; the quoted passage does not exist and the court flagged it as false/misleading.
  • Misrepresented (Case Law)
    Submissions cited the same case for legal propositions the case does not discuss; the court found these citations misleading or unsupported.

Which AI tool

an unnamed/unconfirmed AI tool. Note: Charlotin's public database records tool attribution only where a court order, brief, or reporting on the matter states it explicitly; "unidentified" or "implied" means the record indicates AI use but does not name a specific product — we do not guess.

Outcome

Claim for compensation dismissed due to false and misleading AI-assisted submissions

How Citation Safe would have caught this

Citation Safe runs three deterministic layers before a brief is filed: (1) does the citation exist against CourtListener's database of published opinions, (2) if quoted, does that exact language appear in the source, (3) does the cited case actually support the proposition it is cited for. Fabricated case citations fail Layer 1. Fabricated or misattributed quotations fail Layer 2 even when the underlying case is real. Misrepresented holdings — a real case cited for a proposition it does not support — are the target of Layer 3. None of these checks involve asking another language model whether the citation looks right; they are lookups and text-matches against the actual source, which is why a hallucinated citation has to survive a direct lookup against the authoritative source — not another model's opinion — to earn a VERIFIED stamp; our measured false-verify rate is published live at /quality.
