I wonder whether Moot's lawyer discussed this with him beforehand, or if it's just standard procedure that has attracted a lot of attention this time round.
Secondly, did Moot.it's lawyer threaten to sue Moot's lawyer? Can you do that? Can you sue the lawyers of your opponents? I imagine that could get very nasty.
- petercooper 14y agoWith some minor exceptions, you can sue anyone for anything in the US. You just won't get very far unless you have a reasonable basis.

- waltermorgan 14y agoYup, if someone threatens to sue you for bullshit, you can sue them, in your own jurisdiction, for declaratory judgement. That way you can save yourself from getting embroiled in a multi-year bullshit case in someone else's jurisdiction, and get a quicker ruling (declaratory judgement) that the threat is indeed bullshit.
- waltermorgan 14y agoin this case, though, it's not immediately obvious it's bullshit... imho
