[Boies Schiller partner John Kucera]
On March 3, the public will get a chance to watch as the civil lawsuit filed by Danny Masterson’s victims has an oral arguments hearing at the 2nd Appellate District court in Los Angeles, which plans to stream it online.
At issue is a preliminary ruling in the case regarding an attempt to gut the lawsuit by the Church of Scientology. The church didn’t like the ruling made by Superior Court Judge Upinder Kalra, who denied Scientology’s anti-SLAPP motion.
What’s new, however, is that on Thursday the court gave formal notice to both sides that, besides discussing the merits of the case, the court “is considering the imposition of monetary sanctions” on the Boies Schiller law firm and its partner John Kucera, who is representing the Jane Doe victims.
During briefing on the appeal, Scientology said that it had found numerous examples of hallucinatory case citations which appeared AI-generated in a reply brief by the Jane Doe victims.
Kucera conceded that the errors had been made by the use of AI, took responsibility for it on himself (there were three names on the error-filled brief), and then moved to submit a replacement brief that had the errors removed.
The court denied Kucera’s motion, and we don’t know how the AI errors will affect the arguments being made at the hearing. Our expert, appellate attorney TX Lawyer, has said that the arguments being made by the Jane Does are strong in this appeal, regardless of the AI blunder by their attorneys.
