It's disappointing that our legal system accepts obvious abuse like this (the underlying case). I do hope that this idiot lawyer doesn't try and do something with "inciting mob action" simply by posting the details of this case to a loyal fanbase.
Time to enact significant penalties for those who engage the legal system for frivolous lawsuits.
- jcromartie 14y agoThe legal system is probably not even involved at this point. The lawyer simply asked for $20K under the threat of a further lawsuit.
- MartinCron 14y agoExactly, it's not like lawyers have to run their aggressive threatening letters past judges before they go out. Most "law" doesn't really touch the legal system.
- Silhouette 14y agoDepending on the relevant jurisdiction, the legal system might not accept this kind of behaviour, or it could be walking a very fine line. IIRC this is all based in the US, in which case maybe barratry and SLAPP rules are relevant? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barratry_%28common_law%29#United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barratry_%28common_law%29#Unite... I'll leave it to the real lawyers to comment on any details, though.
