Roy Schestowitz appears to be claiming that he's suing me for, uh, winning a lawsuit against him? I haven't been provided with any details so I can't really say anything there, other than pointing out that (a) I won my original case and (b) he was found to be in contempt of court so multiple judges have ruled against him

@mjg59 oh no

@mjg59 I got the impression that he’s suing your lawyers, not you.

Like I don't think I need to point out that a lawsuit you lose is not a frivolous lawsuit, it's kind of the exact opposite

Frivolous lawsuits pretty much by definition do not end up with a high court judge ordering you to stop doing the thing you were sued over, that's just not a thing that happens if it's frivolous

@sbisson there's an assertion that my conduct will be examined, which is only possible if I'm a defendant

@mjg59 Ah, missed that!

@mjg59 Does this mean a new season of "Matthew tries not to get arrested at the airport" is upon us?

It's worth noting that every case Roy has filed has been dismissed. The one that he wrote himself was recorded as being "Totally without merit", and getting too many of those can result in being the subject of a civil restraint order: https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil/rules/part03/pd_part03c

(This *is* pretty much the definition of a frivolous lawsuit)

@mjg59 That is extremely unhinged of him. Does he not talk to any lawyers anymore?

@CerberusGames He has legal support for the contempt case due to the risk of imprisonment, but is acting as a litigant in person otherwise

@mjg59 he seems to think that you took loans to pay for the lawsuit based on … a tweet?

@thom I think the tweet was evidence I couldn't pay and me mentioning using a credit card is evidence I took a loan

@mjg59 The Fleetwood Mac Rumours joke?

@sbisson yup

Oh right the other thing he independently filed (an application to consolidate two cases unrelated other than the fact that he was sued in both of them and the same lawyers are involved in both) was also dismissed as totally without merit

@mjg59 in catching up on all this. Is there a TL;DR on this? Getting sued sounds deeply not fun.

@mjg59 Were those two cases in sufficiently the same court that you can apply for a limited civil restraint order now as a party to the proceedings?

@cjwatson no, only one strike for me, but two on the other case
