Barry is joined with lawyer James Kitchen and non-lawyer Alexandra Moore to discuss the Canuck Law Website’s “A Beginner’s Guide To Spotting Scam Lawsuits.” https://canucklaw.ca/a-beginners-guide-to-spotting-scam-lawsuits/
The Guide starts out with:
Have you ever been asked to donate to a public interest lawsuit? Well, if you have any connection to the “freedom movement” in Canada, odds are that the answer is yes.
This piece is designed to offer a constructive suggestion: before donating to any case, it’s best to do some due diligence on what’s going on. Yes, that will involve some work, but life is like that.
To add the disclaimer: poorly written and handled litigation doesn’t always mean corruption. There are other explanations like carelessness and incompetence. But at some point, questions have to be asked.
The issues she is concerned about are:
The Lawsuit Is Filed In The Wrong Court
The Wrong Paperwork Is Submitted
There Are Never Any Status Updates Or Announcements
Basic Steps Take Unreasonably Long To Accomplish
The Statute Of Limitations Is Completely Ignored
The Pleadings Are Incoherent And Hard To Follow
Basic Rules Of Civil Procedure Are Rarely Followed
The Case Accepts Far Too Much at Face Value
Gaslighting, Threatening And/Or Suing Of Critics
Those of us in the legal profession would do well to listen to Alexandra’s critique of what has gone on during the COVID-19 cases. We can all learn from this experience.
