The academic writing error in the sentence "In the case of SAB vs. Niemand. The judge ruled in the defendant’s favour." is a sentence fragment. The first part of the sentence is not a complete sentence as it is an incomplete thought and should be connected to the second part. It could be corrected by merging the two parts into a single complete sentence.
