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.
