Description: Self-represented litigant Adriaan Johannes Roux relied on a nonexistent judgment in High Court submissions in Johannesburg, South Africa. The court attributed the false authority and unsound legal arguments to his admitted AI use and said addressing the material wasted court time and resources. The specific AI tools were not identified.
Editor Notes: 10/08/2025: The High Court heard the application. 01/29/2026: The court delivered its judgment, identifying AI-related false authority and wasted judicial resources; it dismissed the main application with punitive costs for broader litigation conduct. 06/07/2026: ENS published legal commentary on the case. The incident date uses the judgment date as a fallback because the defective filing date is unestablished.
