I don’t know anything about the Brazilian legal system. In England and Wales, or in the US, the lawyers are officers of the court, which means they have a duty of candour, and a duty to put the integrity of the legal system above the interests of their clients.

That paragraph was never intended to be read by the judge or opposing counsel, it’s a deliberate attempt at messing with the tools they use to analyse the filing. The fact that it’s white text on a white background makes it an incontrovertible attempt at deceit.

We can discuss how wise it is to use AI to analyse legal documents for you, but that doesn’t change how outright deceit should be handled by the court.

Lawyer here (Sri Lanka). Our responsibilites are similar to the UK--your duty as an officer of court comes first. Attempting to subvert court processes this way would result in sanctions, if not outright disbarment.
