SLAPP Censorship - Part 78 Out of 200: Slandering Me for Saying the Truth About Graveley and Garrett's Abuse of Processes, Stacking Dockets

posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 16, 2026

Is it normal for lawyers to verbally attack (for many months) people who correctly point out procedural and ethical breaches of said lawyers?

Fall guy is a colloquial phrase that refers to a person to whom blame is deliberately and falsely attributed in order to deflect blame from another party.

Over a year ago our solicitor Mark explained to us (over the telephone) that when he exposed actual crimes committed by Rupert Murdoch's media (eventually people sent to prison) and was showing evidence of those crimes they threatened, illegally spied on him, and kept throwing very insulting words at him (notably "conspiracy theorist"), including what he deemed to be antisemitic slurs/dog whistles; we've already extensively covered what seems like strong antisemitism in Brett Wilson LLP [1, 2], but we'll cover this more properly and thoroughly in the future; Brett Wilson LLP's biggest "repeat client" is an alleged high-profile Hamas sympathiser; compare his words to Garrett's and remember they're not in a financial position to turn down money (local solicitors told us more than 2 years ago that this firm was notorious and had become known for taking as clients some of the worst people - those whom no other solicitor/firm would wish to associate with).

On at least a dozen occasions Brett Wilson LLP did the same thing to me; it didn't surprise me given how they had treated my wife and still treat her this year (Brett Wilson LLP strongly despises women, it's just in the firm's genes; it's not that women don't work there, but their roles are always submissive and they too leave their macho employer).

Barristers regulated by the Bar Standards Board (BSB) have obligations to ethical or moral standards, they're not there to relay lies for a fee, certainly not for violent Americans who don't deny their violent past (they got charged). The same goes for lawyers regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), which mostly exists in name and now openly admits it would only intervene when it's too late. Like... if people die? These people think violence is a joke. They've long been combative, but threats to "shut down" my "existence" are too much.

So this series represents a major effort to reform the system so as to actually do justice, not just to make money. It's also about protecting vulnerable people, seeing a disturbing past pattern.

This month it's made crystal clear that Garrett and Graveley are in effect "the same case". They have a lot in common. Garrett's submissions to the Court are almost all about Graveley (some are purely about Graveley). He already admitted they had spoken before Graveley started. And this - inter alia - implies likely perjury (not just regarding the funding for a lawsuit they cannot afford). To be clear, in case they're found to have committed perjury or contempt of court for repeatedly lying to several judges, they already have their fall guy (assistant who signs witness statements all the time but by his own admission proxies his superiors' position) to "throw under the bus". Their clients are in America, so holding them accountable for perjury or contempt of court (worse than abuse of process) is challenging, as they can just avoid coming to the UK (they're unlikely to be extradited here over civil litigation matters).

These are the sorts of things British taxpayers ought to talk about. Such abusive behaviour is costing the British taxpayers a lot of money.

In January 2025 a judge ordered Garrett to put in his defence after we had sued him [1, 2] (he was not amused anymore; lying is a risk) and only days later Graveley suddenly showed up, making threats. It was not a coincidence. Similarly, last month just 44 hours before a Garrett hearing Graveley reared his ugly head again, and did so after about 6 months of complete silence. They are coordinating this "tag-team" act even as recently as days ago (connected actions, only a few hours apart). When I brought up this subject with their hired guns a year ago they simply resorted to name-calling and changing the subject, focusing on how similar or dissimilar the claims were (the text was ~70% the same) instead of the clear coordination of these two. The Court has since then (since last year) de facto merged the two cases, recognising they are inseparable. It updates them in tandem (Garrett's actions are added to Garveley's case). From my counterclaim dated July 2025:


Appendix VII: Merging Related Cases

 

  1. A.Prior to the filing of this Defence, Brett Wilson LLP was asked to agree to combine the “twin” case with this one, in light of the abundant evidence of parallels. 

     

  2. B.Before  Brett Wilson LLP examined the evidence contained therein it turned down this proposal. 

     

  3. C.The following is the message sent by Roy to  Brett Wilson LLP: 

 

Dear Brett Wilson

No doubt you have received notice from the Court about trial dates.

It is clear that this case has a considerable overlap with that of your other American client, Garrett (KB-2024-001270). After all you offered that you'd drop the case if I settled by deleting articles, just like Garrett did, even directly.

I do not know the correct procedure, but I need to refer to each one in the other and cross examine your clients about the collusion between them. Just because you accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist doesn't mean that there is not a conspiracy. I understand that both civil and criminal law recognises that conspiracies exist.

Are you willing to agree to the consolation or consolidation of both your cases? I am going to allege the conspiracy between Mr Garrett and Mr Graveley in my defence so they will both need to be there and the Disclosure will have considerable overlaps.

Consolidating both cases so they can be tried together will save a lot of Court time and even be cheaper for both your client.

As you are aware, Mr Garrett and Mr Graveley are professionally and personally connected, they speak about one another in public (even before these cases), and are both represented by the same lawyer and the same barrister.

 

  1. Brett Wilson LLP’s reply dated over a week later:

 

We write further to your email of 24 June 2025.
Our client Alex Graveley does not agree to consolidate this matter with claim KB-2024-001270. The
claims are unrelated. Different issues will be traversed at trial in each case.
As you are yet to file and serve a Defence in this claim and have refused to engage in any
meaningful correspondence, our client has limited insight into what issues are in dispute.
However, you have repeatedly stated - including at the case management hearing on
18 June 2025 - that the allegations you have made against Mr Graveley are true/accurate. Thus,
we assume that the trial is largely going to be preoccupied with you attempting to prove that the
allegations are true. The allegations you have made against Mr Garrett are quite different and,
even on your own case, there does not appear to be any overlap in the factual matrix.
In the circumstances there is no reason for the two claims being tried together. Your allegations
that Mr Garrett and Mr Gravely are (i) in cahoots, (ii) advancing SLAPPs, and/or (iii) acting on behalf
of (and/or are being funded by) Microsoft., are conspiracy theories, which do not justify
consolidating unrelated claims. If you genuinely believe either claim is an abuse of process (and
believe you have evidence of the same) then you should take legal advice as to whether it is
appropriate to apply for either or both claims to be struck out. To be clear, we do not encourage
such action and will be seeking our client’s costs in the event that such an application is made (and
inevitably dismissed).


You say that you will
need to refer to each one in the other...”. To the extent that there is an
intention to refer to or rely on
documents from one claim in the other claim (which is not clear
from your email), please ensure that you comply fully with
Part 31.22 of the Civil Procedure Rules.
We look forward to receiving service of your Defence by not later than 4.00pm on 16 July 2025 in
accordance with Master Gidden’s order.

 

A similar message was sent at the exact same time (17:01) on behalf of the “twin”, the Garrett Case:

 

We write further to Dr Schestowitz’s email of 24 June 2025, requesting Mr Garrett’s consent to
consolidate this matter with claim KB-2024-3529.
Mr Garrett does not agree to consolidation. This matter is progressing towards trial in October
2025, and consolidation at this stage will plainly prejudice the trial date.
The trial in Mr Garrett’s claim is largely going to be preoccupied with you attempting prove that
the allegations are true and attempting to make out your counterclaim. The allegations you have
made against Mr Gravely are quite different and, even on your own case, there does not appear to
be any overlap in the factual matrix.
In the circumstances there is no reason for the two claims being tried together. Your allegations
that Mr Garrett and Mr Gravely are (i) in cahoots, (ii) advancing SLAPPs, and/or (iii) acting on behalf
of (and/or are being funded by) Microsoft., are conspiracy theories, which do not justify
consolidating unrelated claims. If you genuinely believe either claim is an abuse of process (and
believe you have evidence of the same) then you should take legal advice as to whether it is
appropriate to apply for either or both claims to be struck out. To be clear, we do not encourage
such action and will be seeking our client’s costs in the event that such an application is made (and
inevitably dismissed).
Dr Schestowitz says that he will
need to refer to each one in the other...”. To the extent that there
is an intention to refer to or rely on
documents from one claim in the other claim (which is not
clear from Dr Schestowitz’s email), please ensure that you comply fully with Part 31.22 of the Civil
Procedure Rules.

 

The position maintained here is that the cases should be combined. There is no reason to waste courts’ time dealing with cases that have so many parallels, not just personnel-wise but also the substance of the claims, which were mostly reused. As noted above, the correlation between the cases needs to be discussed orally by all those involved, before a judge, with all the parties present.

 


Their replies did not age well. Months later their client swore on the Bible and then admitted, after being evasive but poorly handling repeated questions (I cross-examined him for two days), that he and Graveley had the whole thing coordinated. It is plausible that their coordination began in 2021, i.e. around the time the Microsofter got arrested and "his best friend" lost his job as GitHub's CEO.
