For real I wouldn't blame people if they thought he was avoiding something. Not like anything major was going to go down for a while though.

Why? The case is effectively on hold at this point and will be until next year. There is nothing wrong with the founder and lead partner in a succesful law firm taking an extended Christmas Holiday when he has no proceedings scheduled or expected. There is nothing Lemonhead can do that would require or elicit an immediate response from Ty. And in the sadly likely event that he does do something unethical, fraudulent, petulant or stupid, there are other lawyers available to smack his ass down. Chupp's not even going to bother reading anymore "Love Letters from Lemoine" until the Appeals Court forces him to do so. Chupp's washed his hands of this circus for the moment.

I guess you didn't get to my second sentence friend. You're taking my first sentence seriously because of it.
 
does anyone have Martinez' petition in response to Lemoine? Nick went over it on stream and I thought it would be posted on the last 10 pages of this thread but I cant find it.

fraud also tolls the statute of limitations, because it is a wrongful act that specifically prevented the plaintiff from discovering the harm.

I don't think the one year statute of limitations applies to anything Sabat could be gone after (even assuming things we don't know for a fact that he did actually happened) other than defamation.

Can one tort extend statute of limitations of another tort if they are linked?

If he's involved in defamation it wouldn't require discovery at all.

If he's involved in defamation, it's likely in the context of TI, he's not been running around on social media. If he did, we'd know and he'd be a co-defendant.

Just defending my POV that Sabat has hidden his actions so discovering the tort would happen on discovery from the other defendants.

In short. Anti-SLAPP laws are absolutely tyrannical and were SPECIFIED in the 7th Amendment of the United States Constitution back in the 18th Century BECAUSE of this exact scenario. Judges are much easier to bribe "or be fooled" than a Jury. Here's the fucked up part. It has NOTHING to do with the Court System. It has EVERYTHING to do with Economics and the highway robbery of Legal Fees.
Conservative Boomers that love this shit are the same type of people that honestly believe they're defending the First Amendment.....which hilariously they outright disregard literally every other fucking Amendment for it, going so far as to violating them. The Bill of Rights isn't numbered by their importance you old dumb fucks. It's numbered because....it's numbered.

Yeah everyone is totally disregarding "literally every other fucking Amendment" to defend the 1st. I was a little upset about letting the military quarter in my house tonight but hey, they asked nicely, so what could I do? Also they took my rifle but they did it declaring freedom of the press so, I guess that checks out. And if we include more than the first ten I'd love to hear about how we're disregarding and violating the 25th Amendment.

The bill of rights is primarily meant to defend against government intrusion. It's main purpose is not to stop private citizens on from saying bad things about you on twitter. The only person in this mess who decided to involve the government... was Vic. And he may have been right to do it, because there are laws against defamation. But stop trying to make as if he's a victim of government. And I'm assuming you must have never seen, much less been on a jury if you seriously think that 'Judges are much easier fooled' than jurors. That's not praise of judges, to be clear.

It strikes me as humorous how many people are on kiwifarms and forget how easy it would be for a plaintiff with big pockets (rather than some crank pro se filer) to cherry pick a jurisdiction and effectively nuke a small site like this with discovery. It's certainly put other similar sites in trouble before. But then I realize it's pretty much only threads about weeb wars. Almost as if it's a concentration of people who are looking at the laws solely though the lens of this case and probably only hear about anti-slapp almost exclusively thanks to Nick streams.

I think most of us have a problem with Intent vs Application of the SLAPP stuff. I mean lets take your example and reverse it using Vics case. Vic tried suing a company and they tried sticking a 170k bill on him for just one defendant, still could with appeals. I mean the fact that almost every one of these SLAPPs gets appealed you'd figure they would pass laws to iron out more details. I mean granted we can't use common sense due to it being the government but if we did they probably should add rules limiting the amount of paperwork submitted and such like the appellate courts to enforce one of the intents of the SLAPP, keeping the costs down on frivolous lawsuits. I mean there is other stuff they could also do to minimize the cost all around like just skipping straight to the COA deciding since there is a high % of the suits going that way anyway but like I said its the Government and common sense need not apply.

I agree with this. The fear I have is that if a small business owner is trying to sue someone screwing with their business they'll get stopped at the TCPA.

Vic had a lot of advantages and still stalled at the TCPA. A small business without the money or evidence Vic had would have a more difficult time. And then get tied up in appeals for 6 months before the trial even starts.
(Think about it. What if KahmehaCon had decided to fight the breach of contract? There would have been a bunch of time wasted on that if Slatosch decided to be exceptional.)

Then again, this case isn't a typical TCPA case. They came in with every intent of abusing the process and got lucky that Chupp didn't know how to handle it.

We may also be pissed off by the people just outraged that a lawsuit is even happening.
