I'm not sure if disbarring is appropriate here, but then again I'm no legal professional. I don't know what the appropriate response would be to a lawyer lying to the court and making up facts. I don't think something as bad as making up lawsuits even happens in normal legal proceedings. I'd presume fines and other types of punishment, depending on if the lawyer is stupid enough to lie about using ChatGPT like in the American case. The person who made the mistake of hiring this lawyer will probably have grounds to sue them for malpractice, especially if they end up losing this case. I know I'd want my money back if my lawyer didn't even bother to read the paperwork they were filing. This lawyer will now have "lawyer lied to the court" show up the moment you Google their name. I think that, plus a hefty fine, is more than enough punishment. Whether or not their future clients will trust them after this is up to them.
