UK High Court judgment cites non-existent case R v J, possibly AI-generated

The UK High Court's [2026] EWHC 2778 (Admin) judgment records Senior Crown Prosecutor Ravinder Dhillon citing "R v J" — a case that does not exist. Her explanation was called "unsatisfactory" by the court, though the fictitious citation did not affect the outcome. The Guardian reports the reference may have come from an AI answer during an internet search, but the judgment does not find AI caused it — another suspected AI hallucination inside the justice system.
