Had an attorney representative relied on fabricated case law, the Board would have been more inclined to issue sanctions even in this initial case, and indeed will likely not hesitate to do so in any future cases. It is a fundamental duty of attorneys to read the legal authorities they cite in order to determine that the authorities exist and stand for the propositions for which they are cited.
