Summary
A UK Upper Tribunal judge criticized the Home Office for relying on a non-existent country policy document to reject a Moroccan woman's asylum claim, suggesting the reference may have been an AI "hallucination." The judge described the use of nonexistent evidence as a serious procedural failure. While the Home Office said asylum claims are assessed on their individual merits using the latest evidence, the woman's appeal remains ongoing.
