Just did a quick read of the complaint. It’s 37 pages of allegations, followed by exhibits.
There are three causes of action for: (1) breach of contract/conversion; (2) breach of fiduciary duty; and (3) statutory conspiracy.
Speaking from my professional experience but not as one who has practiced law in Virginia, I see a number of technical issues with the complaint and it could have been drafted better. Interesting that there is only one defendant.
Several law firms are going to bill a shitload of hours, only to have it all end in some sort of out-of-court settlement with NDAs all around.
Not at all unusual.
The seismic activity shaking Lynchburg is Jerry Sr. rolling over in the bowels of hell.
Now that I think about it, I am wondering if a cause of action (count) for conspiracy is viable if only one defendant is named, i.e., whether you need at least two named defendants (or one named and at least one fictititiously named defendant) who participated in the conspiracy for it to withstand challenge.
Well… There’s Jerry… There’s his wife… There’s any number of folks that Jerry was watching…
I was wondering about that. The quoted parts are “We wouldn’t have rehired him if we’d known he had a PR problem,” which seems like pretty weak tea. They’re apparently going with Falwell’s claim to have been a victim of extortion, rather than an active sugar daddy. (And if they hadn’t noticed anything up to then, you can’t say much for their due diligence.)
Right, but only Jerry is an named defendant.
This is a question of law, i.e., whether a civil cause of action for conspiracy is viable where there is only one named defendant.
That was so funny it left me gasping for air. Bravo!
When confronted with this photo he actually…offered an explanation.
To which the entire planet said…just don’t…please…no…that won’t do.
Have you looked at the statute? I’ve never heard of “statutory conspiracy” so there must be a very specific definition in the statute that might explain.
I was surprised at the manslaughter stats in Minnesota - they are very specific which makes them very narrow.
Wonder if Rudy took the picture.
OT: Your goat zen for the day:
The farm got a dusting of snow this morning. The babies don’t generally get to see snow until they’re more than six months old, but today was something different for them!
Nope, but I do have access to Westlaw.
Twas what I had in mind.
I know. I got nothing.
Yes, that stuck out, and I’m unsure why they would go out of their way to accuse the pool boy of at least quasi-criminal conduct in a lawsuit aimed at Falwell’s misconduct.
I love watching when the royal assholes fight with each other …
I guess they aren’t going to turn the other cheek then.
