In these times, in the US of A, on our civil side, imo, the trial, per se, becomes the punishment. Further, imo, this result was the respondent's objective at the onset.I can’t wait for Barry to get deposed, over and over again, for his civil suit. More evidence. He can’t plead the fifth, he’s innocent! JMO
With with the depth and range of our membership, packing-up sympathies, examples of cost-impoverished civil trial respondents will come to mind.
What is the likelihood that the presiding judge will award costs and all attorneys' fees to each and every BM/IE sued respondent? I'll be stunned if there' proves to be a single case.
This then compels consideration of which respondents, if any - and if so to what extent - are having their legal fees and personal expenses and losses related to trial, covered by their current/former employer(s), be these government or private sector. ?!
And then there's the appellate morass around every corner. A galactic-scale legal tender black hole...
Well, it's all no more nor less than the kind of pasture pie an amoral client's manic counsel steams-up.
"If you don't like it, well, then SETTLE." [Barr's got bucks the client's trust account... riiight...] "Here take some, forget being a respondent. Oh. If we ever do see you again it will be...true...in court, but merely to assist in refreshing the recollection(s) of some former case associate's evidence.That's all. No worries. Have a few more Benjamin$ for your lunch on the way home, ok ? [hugs] Buh-bye!"
