So I'm guessing there's no (speedy) way of dealing with a corrupt judge in a court of law, then.
As far as I can tell, the way to do this is to not score any own goals, and make sure that a relatively unbiased jury or appellate court gets a strong argument in your favor.
Judges enjoy absolute immunity in the course of their duties. You'd have to prove he took a bribe, or broke the law, or some shit. Not merely that he reached a "bad" decision. The avenue for dealing with a bad decision is appeal.
It's stupid that a notary error or filing has any consequence to the client at all. Fine or humilite the lawyer but what is the point of punishing the individual who had no hand in the lawyer's mistake. Lemonparty made plenty of mistake; so shouldn't that mean Ron and Monica should be ruled guilty for genocide, human trafficking and shoplifting?
Unironically, if Vic didn't want his case mishandled so badly, he should have done it himself, pro se. You hire a lawyer to be your champion, so to speak, and their wins are your wins, and their fuckups are your fuckups. You hire a lawyer to do the tedious legal shit for you, and hope they're not as comically bad as Ty Beard.
This is actually true, apparently. After talking up Ty Beard and giving Vic the referral, he later revealed that he had never spoken to Ty Beard in person before. They made it seem like they were
I'm not sure I believe that. I think it's the majority opinion here because Kiwi Farms doesn't eject naysayers from the public discourse. If social media weren't a collection of walled gardens, I think you'd find most people familiar with the case would side with Vic.
Generally, a light humiliation is exactly what happens under normal circumstances in court. Filing mishaps are a regular occurrence and are almost always accommodated for by the court, with not much more than a simple finger wagging with the judge impressing the importance of prudence before then allowing late filings, amended filings, etc. As a matter of fact, one case I know of had a defendant's opposing council completely forget to upload their preliminary filings by the deadline a day before they were set to be heard in front of the judge. Defense of course motioned to dismiss the entire case, but the judge basically hand waived it off and postponed the court date, allowing them to rectify their mistake with a simple "Shit happens all the time". So long as you ask the court for additional time to rectify a mistake, they usually grant it. While Beard messed up by not filing properly by the deadline (he was playing the game of uploading last minute to minimize the amount of time opposing council had to form a response to his filing), it was absolutely out of pocket for Chupp to completely deny the amended filings and move forward without them. Honestly, it was easy to see that Chupp wanted this case out of his court, and he took every opportunity he could to boot it.
This is just the end result of Funimation's merger into Crunchyroll by Sony. Nothing has really changed; its just Funimation by another name.
I don't think he's corrupt in the sense of walking out of court with bags of money, but he's part of an essentially corrupt system. He's inept, and doesn't have to be as inept as he is. He just wants the prestige and respect of a job he isn't competent to do. The people are getting ripped off by even paying this clown's salary.
If you snake on literally everyone you know you're going to be right about one of them some day.
