fun fact: the sanctions chupp awards can be appealed too. ty would have to feel petty/that chupp is being unfair to do it but yeah.... essentially, the argument would be that mediation was an unnessecary expense forced upon them by the court and that they shouldn't have to pay moronica/jamie's mediation fees.
This assumes he took a break from that incredibly full schedule of hair pulling, sexual assault/harassment, and naughty whispering that everyone knew he did, yet felt no compulsion to report to, well, anyone before this year.
TCPA is reasonable attorney's fees. While it's ultimately up to Chupp, I doubt mediation would be counted. I also doubt things like the deposition expenses would, either. Sane defendants would throw out a TCPA motion ASAP, and not fish for cute soundbytes like MoRon did. Hell, you could make an argument that hiring so many different lawyers and filing entire forests of motions was just there to drive up costs for the plaintiff in the event he lost TCPA.
I've seen it thrown around that he's worth several (8?) million. Don't remember the source, though.
Does reasonable attorney fees include three lawyer firms running the clock up intentionally because they thought they could get a payday if TCPA works? Seems like a legal shakedown if so.
I love how they keep quoting the "He admit to pulling her hair" even though his deposition, while for some reason calling it hair pulling, refrenced said action as a non-painful hair fondling at best.
That's up to Chupp. One one hand, (assuming worst case scenario) if Vic loses appeals it meant he brought a frivolous lawsuit. On the other hand, there's reasonable, and then there's running up legal costs just to be a bitch.
That's because they didn't watch/read the deposition, they're only repeating what they saw on twitter.
I assume Chupp's story would be that the mediation didn't have anything to do with the TCPA, and he just ordered it to give them one last chance to settle. Despite neither side giving any indication of wanting to.
You both assume that Chupp is smart enough to remember his own words and make a rational argument.
Lazy Judge being Lazy.
actually I just realized something. he won't award anyone anything. he won't bother with a hearing since its getting appealed and he believes the appeal will go through... so yeah. why bother?

Or he is simply a blind idiot.
I'm getting flashbacks to the video of JMK crying on stream.
