Chronicles of Twatrick: All quiet on the incel front.

Apparently, deeply-indebted and undischarged bankrupt Patrick Ross has decided he has better things to do than file another meritless lawsuit against me, especially since it would be kicked to the curb automatically given that his first attempt was tossed earlier this year for inordinately long delay.

No worries, though, as one of my confidential informants tells me that Patrick is filling his hours as the new heavyweight champion of the UFC:

 

 

It's been remarkably calming and peaceful not giving the slightest shit about what Patrick is doing, or what part of northern Alberta he's swamping, or how many cheeseburgers he ate at his last truck stop. One can only wish Patrick the best, and hope that, at the age of 45, he's finally taking a long, hard look at his life and wondering if he's made the best use of his time.

P.S. What Patrick owes me is still increasing several hundred dollars per month, and will continue to do so until, well, forever. Quite simply, he will never be out of debt to me. 

P.P.S. Given the amount of money that Patrick owes me, I still invite my confidential informants to keep tabs on Casa Ross in Lloydminster to see if Patrick ever shows up there, whether it eventually goes on the market and so on.

Chronicles of Twatrick: All quiet on the Twatrick front.

It's now been well over a month since I had undischarged bankrupt Patrick Ross' dormant defamation action against me kicked to the curb and, even though Patrick assured everyone publicly that he would refile that action the very next day after its dismissal, I have seen nothing in all that time.

It's unlikely that Patrick would have any luck refiling the same action since the applicable limitation period (two years) has already passed:

 

Note well that since Patrick filed the original action in August of 2022, it has now been over four years so one can safely suggest that, at this point, any attempt to try all that again is doomed to failure.

At this point, I'm simply going to keep my judgment against Patrick active so that, some day, I might be able to collect once Patrick can no longer hide out in the wilds of northern Alberta. 

Chronicles of Twatrick: Yes, I got my costs.

And in a development that should shock everyone, lifetime bankrupt and massively-indebted Patrick Ross actually handed over the costs I was awarded for kicking his worthless lawsuit to the curb due to long delay.

P.S. I suspect that the reason Patrick actually handed over the costs was because he was represented by a lawyer who would have been seriously annoyed by a client who did not follow the court's order for costs. 

Chronicles of Twatrick: Nothing to do now but wait.

There probably won't be a lot more Patrick Ross-related posts until Patrick files his promised refiling of his recently-dismissed lawsuit. The instant he files it, I will post it on Google Drive.

Until then. 

Chronicles of Twatrick: The beauty of Rule 3.68.

As I have mentioned before, undischarged bankrupt and financial fugitive Patrick Ross has already made it clear that he will be refiling his Rule 4.33-dismissed 2022 lawsuit against me, citing alleged legislation that allows him to describe his claims against me as "ongoing" and "continuous" and therefore not subject to dismissal. And while Patrick is apparently going to count on some weirdly pedantic analysis of Alberta limitations law, he overlooks the fact that I have a much simpler way of feeding his upcoming refiling through a meat grinder.

In addition to pointing out that Patrick is now statute-barred from refiling his dismissed rubbish, Alberta has a much more all-encompassing rule -- Rule 3.68 -- whose purpose is to weed out lawsuits that the Court considers sufficiently worthless and an abuse of process.

I asked Google how Rule 3.68 could be applied to a Rule 4.33-dismissed lawsuit and, rather than get into the limitations period, I got this delightful and more wide-sweeping explanation:

 

 

Note how, rather than get into 2-year limitation periods, Rule 3.68 takes a step back and describes the possibility of dismissing any action that the court considers ill-founded, frivolous, improper and/or an abuse of the court's process. Or, simply put, worthless rubbish that is not worth the court's time.

The beauty of Rule 3.68 is that, rather than get into the nitpickery of limitation periods, it allows one to do nothing more than say, "This refiling is a pile of horseshit and represents nothing more than the Plaintiff, having had his action kicked to the curb before for being too lazy to move it along, wanting a second chance to waste everyone's time and money." And I'm pretty sure I can make a persuasive argument along these lines.

Stay tuned.

P.S. To be clear about what this is all about, of course I will respond to Patrick's imminent filing by pointing out that his lawsuit was already Rule 4.33-dismissed. However, by bringing Rule 3.68 into the mix, I can dump all over the rest of Patrick's upcoming lawsuit, pointing out Patrick's various lies, distortions, misrepresentations and the like, in order to submit that Patrick's refiling is an abuse of the legal process.

Chronicles of Twatrick: Refiling his now-time barred claims.

It's interesting to reword questions to Google to see how differently it answers, so I asked Google whether Patrick could refile any of his now-time barred claims from his now-dismissed lawsuit, and it had the following answer:

 

 

Let's unpack this, shall we?

Patrick's 2022 lawsuit against me is now dead, having been permanently dismissed. There is no hope of bringing it back, so we can stop wasting any brain cells on it. But what of the many individual claims that constituted that lawsuit? That is a different story.

As I have already explained, Patrick is free to start a new lawsuit as long as all of the claims within it have not been barred by the standard 2-year limitation period; that is, they must contain accusations of events that happened within the last two years. But everything in Patrick's dismissed lawsuit are already over four years old, so there is little chance he is going to be able to migrate anything forward into a new action. All of it -- every dishonest accusation in it -- is now beyond the two-year limitation period.

That means that if Patrick wants to start a new lawsuit, he basically has to start from scratch with new and more recent claims, all of them having taken place within the last two years. And that means nothing from his old lawsuit.

Patrick seems convinced that he's found some sort of loophole around this but, as I've discussed previously, he's been that confident before, and it has always ended badly for him. So we'll just have to wait and see what Patrick's found and misunderstood.

Chronicles of Twatrick: You keep using those words "ongoing" and "continuous" ...

Just to follow up on yesterday's post where I pointed out how Patrick invariably misreads the law, he very unwisely put in a letter to my lawyer his assurance that, upon losing my recent Rule 4.33 Application, he would refile the same ignorant swill based on his (mis)understanding that he could defeat Alberta's 2-year limitation period by magically claiming that, in Canada, defamation can be considered ongoing and continuous and thus not subject to limitation periods:

 

 

 

First, appreciate Patrick's mind-boggling stupidity in admitting, in writing, that "more than four years have passed." It is difficult to comprehend the level of dumbth of someone who is preparing to argue limitation periods, then proceeds to open with a written admission that he is well beyond it.

However, once again, I convinced Google to weigh in and asked about the wisdom of claiming "ongoing" and "continuous" defamation in the context of a Rule 4.33 dismissal and, once again, Google came through:

 

 

I particularly recommend the last point, which points out that the courts have little patience with "artful pleading" as a way to get around the fact that one's claims are wildly out of time.

Finally, as I said before, Patrick is free to file a new action if he thinks he's identified the basis for a claim within two years of his filing date, but if he thinks he can just grab everything from four or more years ago and drag it forward, he is most likely going to be disappointed. 

AFTERSNARK: Note well that, for Patrick to file another lawsuit, he cannot just claim defamation or harassment within the last two years, but also that those claims are "entirely new and distinct." That is, they cannot be simple repetitions that were already dismissed by my Rule 4.33 Application.

I mention this since I suspect this is what Patrick is going to try; that is, to claim that, for whatever reason, his clearly old and out-of-date claims can somehow be brought forward as part of his new lawsuit. It seems clear that he can't do that, but I'm predicting that that is exactly what he is going to do. I also predict that he will do it on his own because his current lawyer will refuse to sign his name to such nonsense.

BY THE WAY, you just know that Patrick is going to brag that he knows how to get around the 2-year limitation period. I will remind you that Patrick was equally confident that he was going to defeat my Rule 4.33 Application. Patrick has a long history of promising victory, then getting punished by the Court. I don't see this being any different.
