Slappification: Using More SLAPP to Cover Up SLAPP and Chaining SLAPPs (From Microsoft) in a Failed Bid to Censor Techrights
How low can a person with a law degree stoop? Firms go under when they stoop this low as Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) earn greater attention and we too shall contact politicians, helped by prominent NGOs, to seek much-needed reform
This was sent half a day ago by the very same lawyer (notice the language):
Two years ago we moved everything to the UK, as the sister site has just mentioned (it is connected to this one).
Months later both sites began to receive classic SLAPP letters from a poor law firm acting for Microsofters living in the country we had left (in the sense that the servers weren't based there). Only a few months earlier that same poor law firm had SLAPPed people who exposed serious white-collar crime. That shows us what this firm fancies working for. It also confirms what lawyers in Manchester told us a year ago. Brett Wilson LLP is known for being one of the worst law firms out there. They'd take any lousy "case" as long as you pay them, to paraphrase a lawyer we spoke to (several law firms were consulted). It's like Brett Wilson LLP no longer cares about its reputation and long record of failures; it's all about money and buying ads/puff pieces to pretend to be good. They do reputation laundering for themselves, not just for clients.
In the case of taxpolicy.org.uk (SLAPPed by Property118 via Brett Wilson LLP), there are many similarities. That SLAPP from months earlier than the SLAPP against us (also by Brett Wilson LLP) was followed by another SLAPP. Sounds familiar? They were trying to misuse "copyrights" to keep secret the threats that they were sending to people, even people who merely reported crime.
To quote what they wrote in taxpolicy.org.uk: "Brett Wilson LLP acting for a tax avoidance boutique called Property118, accused me of defamation for stating opinions on tax law which are shared by the majority of the profession. A libel action on that basis never had any prospect of success, and the Brett Wilson letter was therefore a SLAPP. Brett Wilson abused the law of copyright and confidence in an attempt to keep their correspondence from being published. Another characteristic of a SLAPP."
Chaining of SLAPPs discredits the SLAPPer. Imagine a person repeatedly strangling women and yet insisting that he has changed, or some firm claiming to have made a mistake despite repeatedly making it.
Brett Wilson LLP is digging its own grave basically. Or its own graveley. █
