Also, Respondents Can Get OSC Response Fees And Costs On The Issue.
All practitioners should get attuned to the fact that appellate courts are imposing sanctions more frequently for CRC infractions, including referencing AI hallucinations and filing false paperwork. In Horton v. Takeda Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., Case No. D085379 (4th Dist., Div. 1 Dec. 29, 2025) (unpublished), plaintiffs/appellants’ attorney was sanctioned $3,000 for filing a false notice of settlement with the appellate court, the amount payable to the appellate clerk. In addition, the defense was entitled to its fees and costs for responding to the OSC re sanctions issued by the appellate court, although the amount would be set by the lower court.
