Like I said, this isn’t some Mickey Mouse law firm. They didn’t make a mistake in their countersuit against me. It wasn’t some green lawyer handling the case. This was a well thought out Response to Civil Claim and Countersuit. These are lawyers who earn their money by their words. The words you choose when answering a lawyer under oath are important and you will be expected to defend them. The words used in pleadings to the court by lawyers are important and should reflect the legal profession’s respect for the courts.
BLG wanted to deprive me of the opportunity to have a judge decide the merits under the PPPA. They made an application seeking a declaration that the PPPA does not apply in the circumstances which paused my PPPA application. That application was heard in Oct. 2022, with the Justice’s decision Apr. 2023. BLG appealed that decision – losing again, But looked what they gained. We didn’t get before a judge for the PPPA until Oct. 2023.
They were successful in stalling for an entire year, hoping I’d be running up a legal bill, defending their ridiculous applications and justification to the courts. PPPA applications are supposed to be heard in a timely manner – Borden, Ladner, Gervais determined I wasn’t worthy to even have a Judge consider their words against me.
The Protection of Public Participation Act is very good, it needs to address this blatant disregard of the purpose of the Act. After submitting ‘over-the-top-rhetoric’ in pleadings, it’s disrespectful to the courts to allow a well established National law firm stoop to such depths without making an example of them in order to send a firm message that these antics won’t be tolerated.
How many peoples lives have been shaken by lawyers using these tactics? It’s cruelty – plain and simple. That’s the goal.
