Law Firms Facing the Consequences for Patently Abusive Litigation on Behalf of Microsoft Employees Who Got Arrested for Strangulation and Had Done Even Worse Things
Earlier this month: This Past Friday, Confirming What We Said All Along About Brett Wilson LLP: It's Shrinking, Has Considerable Debt, Loss of Net Assets Despite the Microsoft SLAPP Money
Brett Wilson LLP is in trouble.
Having spent 1.5 years bullying me with patronising letters on behalf of Microsofters, last week they got served a massive bill and, in effect, lost the Hearing [1, 2, 3]. Their nasty letters to both my wife and I are collected here for future coverage. We intend to hold them fully accountable for their actions.
During the Hearing I made it known to the "other side" (a platoon of lawyers; all lined up against me, a non-lawyer speaking over the landline, faceless) that I "Know What They Did Last Summer" (not in those words).
They seem grossly understaffed and lots of improvising was done since last year in an effort to hide that (also change of hats and people acting, based on metadata they forgot or don't know how to remove).
Looking at the metadata of all recent communications, it looks like the Serial Strangler from Microsoft has dumped/lost his lawyer and barrister (or soon will) - or worse - the abusive law firm is having considerable capacity issues.
Let us explain.
Some earlier documents were authored by the head, "Wilson" in the firm's name (they got sloppy about omitting metadata by sending me bitmaps/scans as PDFs rather than the PDFs themselves). I can see all this. Maybe they don't quite understand what they do technically or grossly underestimate the recipient's technical skills. I didn't tell them they had committed this mistake, repeatedly, until the Hearing.
Looking at the metadata, I see a female Wilson. Is this a family member of the chief? Is this person qualified to practice law? Is this a cost-saving move? This person isn't named as staff.
If it's family, it's likely a wife, not daughter, as he's the same age of my wife. Or maybe it's more external staff, as if they took two barristers - not just one - to target me and my wife.
Incredible! Are we worth a million dollars in "lawyering up" bills?
I personally believe that it's really quite revealing that they suddenly take on a Litigant in Person (LIP) with help from the outside, maybe family members, maybe additional outsiders, and then sign that with a misleading signature that gives the impression this is being done in-house, taking on a person with no Law Degree using a large team of people who work in a large groups (at least 5 names show up in these recent PDFs).
They basically give a "VIP Treatment" to a Serial Strangler from Microsoft residing in an entirely different continent (against a person in the UK, who merely reported what he had done and provided hard proof from official sources).
At the moment there's one unknown: did they use two barristers or did they borrow help from family members? If it's the latter, there are repercussions. We saw that in Croatia, where a super-corrupt EPO official opened a business with his daughter and seems to have forged qualifications using his corrupt buddies from the EPO (he did this during Benoît Battistelli and got forged qualifications under António Campinos).
Tomorrow we'll explore this issue a little further, moreover illuminating how we found out that the law firm sought help from the outside and sent me letters signed with the firm's name, even if the person writing those letters was from a different firm. There's a good reason why Brett Wilson LLP keeps getting reported to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) in the United Kingdom.
I don't intend to mention the names of the people in the metadata because it would be better to tackle this issue in an impersonal fashion. █
