Sanction teardown · Cámara Nacional de Apelaciones del Trabajo, Sala II, Argentina · 2026-08-24
Orozco de Figuera, Sol María c/ Pulpería Quilapán S.R.L. s/ Despido
What happened
In Cámara Nacional de Apelaciones del Trabajo, Sala II, Argentina, 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:
-
Fabricated (Case Law)The court could not verify any of the cited authorities and specifically found no decision identified as “Cabral c/ Sanatorio Modelo” (Sala V, 2023).
-
Fabricated (Case Law)The court could not verify the decision identified as “Falcón c/ Siderca S.A.I.C.” and attributed to the Labor Chamber’s Sala II in 2022.
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
Bar Referral
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.
