Semi-OT: Drummond Being Sued for Libel

[TasteofUConn]

Good for you. Keep up the good work.

Thanks pal-o. You too. Perhaps you should run for judge, because jumping to conclusions based on notice-plead garbage complaint from a 2 year probation scumbag attorney is exactly what the judiciary is begging for in this country.

I just finished reading the complaint. Looks like Michigan is a notice-pleading state. Too bad. It's a horse- concept that somebody can haul you into court after investing only 5 pages into the case.
The best thing that could happen to litigation in this country is a changing of the standard for reimbursing victorious defendants for attorney fees. The standard now is "almost never."

Connecticut is a fact pleading state and that complaint easily survives dispositive motions here.

Agree with you that the prevailing party paying legal fees would be a change for the good. The "American Rule" is one of the things I think we got wrong.

You have misread my post, among other things.

All you lawyers posting on the Yard during midday; are these posts billable 'research' charges to your clients?

PA is a fact pleading state, and I'd have that crap punted on POs with about 1 hour billed. Sure they could refile, but it's important to get them to lay down as much as their hand as possible in a sworn complaint before replying.

That is a sworn complaint. I haven't handled a PA state case in almost 20 years, but that would have survived easily then.

It's not even close here. Even a request to revise would very likely be denied.

You two should find a room. Many of us are just plain ole basketball fans here. Reading your technical jousts is Chapple talk to me.

Well, we can save the court costs on this one!

A courtroom perhaps with a panel of judges: Jusge Deepster, Judge Swami, Judge Fishy and Judge Judy.

To be fair, the entire text of the OP’s post consisted of a link and one question:
“Where are our Boneyard lawyers?”

… and then they all scampered out of the woodwork like roaches.

Full disclosure: I am also a roach. At first I found the jurisdictional and legal issues intriguing, until it all devolved into yet another episode of Boneyard infighting, which seems typical these days.

My legal advice for Andre: do NOT read the Boneyard.

Objection. Move to strike.

Bravo. That was hilarious.

Too bad I only specialize in bird law.

Maritime law here.

Andre, if you ever get into trouble on the high seas, give Chereth Cutestory a call!

All too true, tragically so for Officer Obie.

And the bitches. Don't forget the bitches.

Or was that meant to be included in "fun stuff"?
