The Supreme Court suspended a lawyer for one month and fined her 5 UTM under articles 531 and 542 of the Organic Code of Courts for a cassation brief citing a non-existent 2023 treatise and a non-existent 2021 work, produced with AI; the unintentional-error defence was rejected as a breach of procedural good faith.
