I’m not a lawyer, but I’m curious if it would also be a fineable offense to ask for this directly. Obviously nobody would ever do that… it would come off as someone thinking they had Jedi powers or something. But it doesn’t seem to me (again, not a lawyer) that this would be illegal.
So why is it when you ask it of AI?
There are probably certain humans who would follow commands as given, perhaps a child or child-like?
Asking an LLM to do this through a prompt injection attack is less an unreasonable request and more an active effort to undermine the court's infrastructure and processes.
I'm not a lawyer; that's my intuition on the matter.

Not having read the article, but I feel this is a risky stand for the court to take. It makes sense that you should stop others from impeding your review system - however you implement it, yet "prompt injection" is hard to define. What is stopping the court from fining people for a "logical argument" in future filings?

For any reasonable definition of "prompt injection", that pretty clearly is one.

Seems pretty easy to me. Any injection attack is an attempt to exploit technical weakness by injecting commands into data streams.

The higher court that handles appeals.
That’s the generic answer to “what is stopping the court from…” in a functional judicial system.

But Brasil court doesn't work under precedents. So unless this becomes law, it doesn't change anything for future cases.

German courts official doesn't work under precedent either. But in practice it often behaves like it does. Eg very prominently discussed in the media for judgements around renting of residential property.
In the other direction, in a common law system it's up to the judge to decide what precedent, if any, applies. You can always find some peculiarity of the case that justifies deviation, or you can ignore some peculiarity to justify following a precedent you do like.
