Monetary Sanction (upheld) 1546 USD —

The trial court found that Brankle's filings contained repeated citations to rules that do not exist and fictitious cases, stating he appeared to be using ChatGPT to prepare filings. The trial court denied his motion to compel and ordered him to pay Schmell's expenses; the Court of Appeals affirmed, concluding the motion was not substantially justified because it was riddled with hallucinated authorities and that as a pro se litigant he is held to the same standards as trained attorneys.

Fabricated Case Law (1)

Monetary Fine; Bar Referral 1 BRL —

The court determined that the author's attorney used an AI tool without critical review to generate and cite non-existent jurisprudential precedents in the initial petition. The conduct was held to constitute litigância de má-fé; the court imposed a procedural fine (2% of the updated value of the cause) and ordered that the decision be forwarded to the OAB for possible professional measures, reasoning that using AI to fabricate authorities undermines the integrity of the judicial debate and violates duties of probity and good faith.

The self-represented appellant admitted using unspecified AI tools to transcribe and assemble his appeal book. The AI-generated transcripts included material inaccuracies and, according to the appellant, appended a certified court-transcriber certificate (including name, registration number and signature) belonging to Sue Loney. The respondent discovered 39 discrepancies and the transcriber denied certifying those transcripts. The Court found the appellant knowingly filed misleading certifications and uncertified transcripts, rejected reliance on an AI excuse, dismissed the appeal for failure to perfect, and awarded indemnity costs of $20,000.

No exclusion of Expert Report — —

Defendants raised in reply that Dr. El‑Ghannam used ChatGPT and that his case‑specific report contained hallucinated (fabricated) citations, citing a different MDL filing where hallucinated sources were confirmed. The Court found the AI argument untimely, noted Bard had not identified any fully hallucinated citations in the General Report, and observed El‑Ghannam admitted limited ChatGPT use but testified he wrote and verified the report. The Court refused to exclude opinions on that basis and imposed no sanction.
