James Arthur Watkins a/k/a "Jim Watkins" vs. Fredrick Robert Brennan (2019) - Libel tort in the Republic of the Philippines.

[copypaste]

For the perusal of the kiwis, I upload this lawsuit. This thread is meant to be moved to Lolcow & Lolcow LLP subforum.

Jim, the free speech absolutist, is suing me for libel.

The Philippines is a civil law jurisdiction, meaning the loser always pays costs, so I can get a lawyer this time.

 

[Null]

The jurisdiction here is Pasig City, Republic of the Philippines.

P.S.

1. OP is Fredrick
2. Please keep shitposting about the feud in the Articles board thread that it's usually been in. I'd like more legal oriented posting here and shitposting there.

Will Hotwheels be able to ddos himself out of the lolsuit?

I wonder if Fredrick has enough buttcoin to out-bribe Jim.

 

[Coleslaw]

On the flip side, this means the Philippines won't have the "actual malice" standard either.

 

[janekop]

So the primary basis for this lawsuit is Jim being butthurt that Fredrick called him senile? Damn, that's a boomer move right there.

 

[HeyYou]

I don't feel too bad, if you hadn't been autistic on twitter and just said "no comment" when journos came looking, none of these dumb lawsuits would have happened. That said, you're likely to win.

 

[Takodachi]

I'm usually against Jim, but I hope this makes that cripple faggot squirm. Spiteful cunt deserves nothing less.

 

[The Real SVP]

I wonder if Jim chose a lawsuit over the pigs because he does not want to poison them with all the drugs [Brennan] does.

 

[Catgirls are Love]

'Tis the season to sue absolutely fucking everybody, apparently. Can't really say I'm surprised.

 

[BasedRetard]

I expect the rate of lolsuits to continue to increase for "e-celebs" , websites and those surrounding them. Many laughs ahead!

 

[Wingus Dongshire]

Isn't this gonna set a precedent for dealing with Jim that will stretch back to 8ch if/when it comes back up? How's anyone gonna feel about being free to speak on a site where the owner sues someone for saying he's senile?

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Whelp, it was bound to happen.

 

[AnOminous]

This is a complete lolsuit but maybe it's in a lolcourt before a loljudge. I have no idea how well or how badly a flip court will deal with a lolsuit like this.

 

[WeeGee]

What does one have to gain by suing a cripple?

 

[BrainProlapse]

Tbh with that fat little goblin fucking with him everyday I'm surprised he didn't go for less legal means. If I were in Jim's shoes I'd sent a few thugs over to fuck with Wheelchair Gollum's life and business a bit, see how he likes it.

The suit seems a non-starter, but Brennan has earned his raking over the coals.

 

[MightyBiteySnake]

The only way to truly settle this is to have them wheelchair joust

 

[Shaka Brah]

You guys don't get it. Legal process does not exist in the third world. There is no brown country where you get a fair or even logical trial and the Philippines is no exception. Anyone who thinks this is going to work like it does in the U.S. hasn't dealt with this system.

This will be either dismissed for being a white people issue, or be a complete circus and totally weird.

 

[Rotollo]

Jim and Hotwheels have had the biggest PMS battle in the history of website owners
Cant wait to see sped vs. sped in court

 

[not william stenchever]

This is going to be hilarious. It is impossible to guess in what way it will be hilarious at this point, but that only adds to my anticipation.

A wheelchair.
