CONVERSATION #2  WITH MEDIATOR   Oct 25

From: Sandra Finley Sent: October 25, 2016 6:44 PM  To: Andrew G. MacCorquodale ; and mcdougallgauley

Subject: Ashu Solo: UPDATE. Rept, Conversation #2. Contingent relationship, And other matters.

Hello Andrew and Paul’s Junior Counsel,

The conversation with the Mediator today will shorten the amount of time required for Mediation on Nov 22nd.

Things I discussed with him and information provided:

  1. CONTINGENT RELATIONSHIP

If I successfully defend against defamation, then Ashu’s case against LFC collapses,   ipso facto.

There is a contingent relationship, within a relationship where the co-defendants have different purposes.

So I think Tim will, at his discretion,  make some time available for the co-defendants to converse privately during the Mediation, if that would be helpful.

2.TYLER ASKED WHEN HE MIGHT COMMUNICATE WITH ME IN THE TIME LEADING UP TO NOV 22ND   

SIMULTANEOUSLY A SOLID FOUNDATION LAID BY THE VANCOUVER LAWYER WHO REPRESENTED ME IN THE BEGINNING (began with Domain Name Registrar – a BC company):

   – – –   MORE THAN 6 TIMES (NOT COUNTING PHONE CALLS)  HARPER GREY (Vancouver) REQUESTED FROM TYLER SPECIFICS OF WHAT IS DEFAMATORY, SO I COULD ADDRESS AND CHANGE IF WARRANTED.

Tyler has been communicating with me through a lawyer since January 2015.  Coming up to 2 years.   If he follows through on contacting me prior to Nov 22nd,  I will listen to him, and tell him that I’ll take what he has to say under consideration.   I am unlikely to participate in “communication”  beyond that.

I excerpted statements regarding the many requests (emails and phone calls) from Daniel  to Tyler during the first 6 months.  When Tyler did respond, it was with material that didn’t meet the criteria required by law (you received same).  For the purposes of the lawsuit he has to provide the specifics.   (My perverted mind says that they never expected to go to trial, hence the no-necessity to engage!)   That aside,

I will use the list of attempts to obtain specifics,  at trial.

If you (LFC and Paul’s Jr Counsel)  want, they are at  http://sandrafinley.ca/?p=17723    cbb2

 

3.   DEFENCE I WILL USE AT TRIAL    SO MEDIATOR UNDERSTANDS WHERE I AM HEADED AND WITH WHAT ARGUMENT.  

SHOULD ALSO BE HELPFUL TO YOU, GIVEN THE CONTINGENT RELATIONSHIP.  YOU CAN BETTER ASSESS MY CHANCES OF BEING SUCCESSFUL.  (I am somewhat biased.)     Draft at   http://sandrafinley.ca/?p=17781   cbb2

I told Tim.

I will address 3 questions:

  1.  Why would I have information about Ashu Solo on my blog?
  2.  Why has Ashu gone to the extremes of trying to force my blog-hosting service to take down the blog.   Failing that, he tried to force the domain name registrar to de-register it, which would effectively do the same thing.
  3.  The 3rd and final question is one I’ve been asked from the beginning.  Why not just take down the pages that have information about Ashu Solo?   It can’t be worth all that Ashu has put myself, numerous people in the Green Party of Canada, and others through.  Nor is it worth the $24,000 (as at Oct 24, 2016) in legal bills to maintain my right to publish the information, so long as it is not defamatory.

As a lay person self-representing, I will likely do little cross-examination of the plaintiff’s evidence.  Basically, by addressing those 3 questions in my presentation to the Court (and a few other points),  I will have refuted the evidence of the plaintiff – –  without having to deal with Ashu’s manipulations, lies, and minutiae.  I  (of course!  Ha ha!)  think that the case as laid out  is compelling, even in this first draft, incomplete form

I want to be clear on what I would say in Court,  prior to entering Mediation so that I don’t go astray down dead-end alleyways.

In order to give you time, IF it might be helpful to your understanding and strategy, I am providing the link  (above), even tho it is draft and incomplete.

4.   RECOVERY OF COSTS, POSITION CHANGED

Earlier,  I did not expect to recover “blood from a stone”.    I have changed my position:   Ashu has access to as much (more?) money than I have.   He needs to be held accountable.

In my submission to the Court,  I need to tell the Court that I am responding to charges about defamation.   But really the case is about abuse of the Justice system.   I was expected to capitulate to the financial coercion that the system affords.   (I have a collection of excerpts, again, with which to back-up my statement that this is a version of a SLAPP suit.)

5.    THE NEED TO HIT THE BALL WHEN IT LANDS IN OUR COURT:  THE CASE OF THE YOUNG WOMEN IN AUSTRALIA WHO TOOK A CYBER-BULLY TO COURT AND WON, CONTRARY TO ADVICE AND EXPECTATIONS OF OTHERS.

6.   I WILL BE MOSTLY INCOMMUNICADO as of THIS FRIDAY,  and FOR COUPLE OF WEEKS.   WILL CHECK EMAILS INFREQUENTLY.

I don’t expect to have more conversations with Tim before Nov 22.

Tyler knows not to try to contact me during this period.

If there is anything you wish to contact me about,  please use  sabest1  AT   sasktel.net    I will check it occasionally.  And regularly, except for the 2-week hiatus from emails and phones.

There may be other miscellany – –

That’s all I can think of, at the moment.

/Sandra
