The whole thing has been an incredible train wreck. Vic's lawyer now forging signatures has to be the dumbest thing to happen in a case that is overflowing with stupid.

Edit: Greg (the main twitter lawyer who has been chronicling this) now thinks the hearing tomorrow will be all about untangling Ty's bad lawyering. So the hearing on whether the case should be dismissed will end up getting rescheduled. mallratcal fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Sep 6, 2019 |

Rhonne posted:I'm not following this too closely, but did Vic hire Lionel Hutz? He's an estates lawyer. Percy added defamation law to his area of expertise on his website when LawTwitter asked him if he had ever litigated a defamaton case before. He then removed it from his site once LawTwitter informed him that claiming he was a defamation expert would increase the sanctions payout (and help Vic in a malpractice suit) when he loses the case.

Skwirl posted:So, assuming everything is dismissed like it sounds like, what's the next step for the defendants and their lawyers to file an anti-SLAPP suit? Would that come up today or would it be a separate filing? It's already part of the filing. If everything gets dismissed today the judge would set a hearing for sanctions.

Anora posted:What did he miss the court for today, didn't he have a subpoena to go to it? He was in California for a con or something. His lawyer filed a motion to quash the subpoena which put a stay on the subpoena. Now that the hearing is over the subpoena is moot. Not a good look to skip your own hearing though.

Anora posted:So if Vic does/can sue Beard or BFL for mishandling the case, do you think they'll represent themselves? Ty's firm has already brought in outside counsel to help mitigate the sanctions payouts and it's likely they would continue to use them in case Vic goes after them for malpractice. Good odds that law firm just nopes the gently caress out of there though. Wark Say posted:Like I know the whole "A man representing himself has a fool for a client" thing is what you're going for, which fair enough, seems like the normal course of action, but didn't Mignogna tried to actually search two legit law firms to represent him and in both cases the firms went "Nope!" as quickly as possible, so he basically got saddled with Beard because Mignogna is legal poison? Yup, that's 100% what happened. I think he only found Ty after speaking with Nick.

You did khy. As for the fees the 9 dismissals yesterday (and the remaining 5 in 30 days should they also be dismissed) by law have to be paid by the plaintiff. Vic probably thinks that GFM will cover it but his own lawyer has likely already billed that account in full. There is a chance that the judge awards the full amount of the GFM to the defendants as well. Under the SLAPP law, sanctions should be applied to a degree that the plaintiff won't launch another similar lawsuit. Edit: SLAPP law, not TCPA. mallratcal fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Sep 7, 2019 |

divabot posted:So what's the split on attorney fees like? All Vic, some Vic some Ty? How does this work in Texas? For the (what was it, 9 or 12?) counts that were dismissed (so far) Vic is on the hook for all lawyer fees that pertained to those suits. If the rest of the counts are also dismissed Vic will be paying for those too, as under Texas law if you are the plaintiff and lose to a SLAPP filing you get stuck with the attorney fees. There are also sanctions that the judge can apply as a penalty for bringing the frivolous suit. A lot of people have said that sanctions are supposed to be applied to deter the plaintiff from trying to file another such suit. So in theory the judge could order whatever the total of the GFM is to the defendants on top of the attorney fees. And Vic's own lawyer has undoubtedly already billed that GFM dry at this point. So Vic could be paying a whole lot of money. I think sanctions are at the discretion of the judge so if he's feeling kind to Vic it will just be the defendants attorney's fees Vic will have to pay. Edit: Thanks for the bitcoin links, I'm always down to read about some bitcoin fuckery.

Alan Smithee posted:since rekitikitavi wasn't actually the lawyer on the case could he still face problems I don't think so. Law twitter (Greg specifically) said it was possible if Vic brought a malpractice suit against Ty, as there was a conflict of interest by Nick recommending Ty be Vic's lawyer. I doubt Vic files a malpractice suit though.
