You have to go to this page, click through to Civil, enter party name as Michael Barisone. Then click on the LK vs MB case and scroll all the way to the bottom - last document.
It refers to RC in the heading LK vs. Mb, rc, etc. Then says all parties in the text. I believe there can be settlements between the parties. This just says the case is closed.
Do you know the terms of the settlements between LK and SGF/MB, VHM?
I know you’ll push a narrative that LK settled for a token amount because she was terrified of being deposed/ going to trial etc, but there’s no evidence to support that particular flight of wishful thinking.
I’ve expected all along that the case would be settled, just because that’s the outcome most of the time.
This is a win for both sides to be able to avoid the expense and the risk of a trial.
The suit was dismissed because all parties have now settled out of court. SGF settling last week was a major move that set the overall settlement in motion.
I put in a little extra, so I am replying to you again.
Of course I don’t know the terms of the settlement.
I do know that Lollypop didn’t sit for her deposition though. I don’t know if she was “terrified.” But she CERTAINLY had a lot of stuff she probably didn’t want to speak about under oath.
I’ll eat my hat if you can provide any concrete proof LK was awarded millions in damages. That’s wishful thinking on your part.
It’s onto the Krol hearing and following up with SafeSport for MB. He’s got a ways to go, but it looks like he may just get his life back. As for LK? Everyone has seen her for who she is. Where does she go from here?
This is not my personal experience. My understanding is that the courts have to sign off on the terms of a settlement (I am currently going through this process as well). If there is no filing of a settlement agreement, then there was none above and beyond that both parties agreed to drop all the claims.
At least every professional and barn owner in the entire North American Dressage community now knows that she’s one hell of a toxic client.
I can’t think of any story that is quite as wild as this one. Seriously. I’d be really curious if anyone else can come up with an example of a worse boarder/client situation.
Why would the court have to sign off on what was mutually agreed by the parties?
Please read the posts by I_dratherbe, which indicate that there will be a separate settlement agreement between the parties. Part of the settlement agreement will be that all parties dismiss their court claims. We don’t know what the other aspects of the settlement are in terms of monetary payments, agreeing not to contact or discuss, whatever.
I’ve been posting my opinions on the case. I don’t come to it with hatred for LK, so I guess I can see that to you my opinions would look like “love and support”. But that’s only by virtue of the contrast with the majority haters.
I pray the Krol hearing is positive, and that he is home for Christmas this year.
I also hope this dismissal of the civil suit, combined with his NGRI verdict will help his situation with SafeSport. I’d imagine he has to get through the entire Krol process with NJ first though.
