This is an interesting point. All they had to do, and they know this, is hire counsel prior to their month long vacation (using the same math they use for Lauren’s ICU stay), then this would be all handled.
Next continuance will be ‘we just got back in the country and we have not hired counsel yet’.
I think I should send an email to the judge since that is appropriate in the world of the Kanareks and their banned supporters and ask him to wonder why delay any further since 1) this court action has been on the table since July, 2) neither traveler has recognized counsel, and 3) move on without them since it is quite apparent they are not going to comply.
That should be tough patooties if they’re out of the country. That means they left KNOWING there were motions and other things scheduled. It’s a further delay tactic to bring it into next year.
Thanksgiving is at that time and then going into the Jewish holidays and Christmas things just don’t happen - high holy days and all. So nothing will even start before 2023. It’s a delay tactic.
I hope the judge denies the plaintiffs request for parties motioned or subpoenaed to appear BY OTHER PARTIES.
Hmmm…and they were conveniently out of the country when Tarshis was negotiating for LK to move…and back just in time for LK to refuse and get a lawyer hired for the eviction…
If you are not a party to the case you will not be engaging in ex parte communication. You might freak him out, but you won’t be doing anything sanctionable.
It’s a sleazy way to get an adjournment without the Ks having to get counsel yet as they intend to use IMO the excuse of having to get counsel as a future stalling tactic.
However, the subpoenas etc were not by LKs attorney O’Connor so it looks sneaky for him to ask on behalf of parties he does not represent.
So, if my understanding of @lazaret earlier posts is correct…this is another red herring argument.
If Nagel and O’Connor are representing JK/KK on these motions, then JK/KK do not have to be present, just their counsel, and the hearings can move forward….it’s their problem to figure out how to watch it on zoom, they won’t be speaking anyway.
If JK/KK are representing themselves, then Nagel/O’Connors motions have no standing and can be ignored. If that is the case, then currently JK/KK have not filed opposition motions and the SGF/Barisone motions stand unopposed, so JK/KK have no argument in front of the court and so nothing they say should matter…so it shouldn’t matter if they show up or not…
That law firm had better watch it, they are skirting with representation of JK and KK, which could lead to a big lawsuit against THEM for breach of duty to their original client, LK.
