Counsel's October 2025 appeal quoted passages attributed to the Constitutional Court, Supreme Court and two regional high courts that did not match any real ruling. The chamber opened Article 247 LEC bad-faith proceedings in February 2026 but archived them without fine after the lawyer apologised and withdrew the citations, while warning about AI hallucination and the non-delegable verification duty.
