I. Executive Summary
The court criticised the claimant’s pleading as prepared with the support of artificial intelligence and as consisting of a mass of abstract, disordered, and largely irrelevant legal and case-law citations.
It found that this mode of litigation supported a conclusion of bad faith or, at least, gross negligence in bringing the action.
It imposed aggravated-liability sanctions under article 96(3) c.p.c. (€500 to each defendant) and ordered an additional payment under article 96(4) c.p.c. (€500 to the cassa delle ammende).
II. Conduct Analysis
The claimant filed a labour-court brief described by the court as drafted with AI support, containing largely non-pertinent citations and lacking a coherent, fact-specific framework.
III. Legal Foundations
Italian code of civil procedure, article 96(3) (aggravated liability for bad faith or gross negligence)
Italian code of civil procedure, article 96(4) (additional payment to the cassa delle ammende following article 96(3))
IV. Key Facts
1) The court expressly characterised the opposition brief as drafted “with the support of artificial intelligence”.
2) The filing was described as a compilation of abstract and largely non-pertinent legal and jurisprudential references, rather than a structured application of law to facts.
3) On that basis, the court applied article 96 aggravated-liability provisions and ordered monetary consequences.
V. Consequences & Sanction
1) Article 96(3) c.p.c. sanctions: €500 payable to each defendant.
2) Article 96(4) c.p.c. payment: €500 payable to the cassa delle ammende.
