[quote=Anonymous]This is big: Lively has filed a motion for sanctions against all Wayfarer parties except Baldoni, and against their lawyers.

It's a Rule 11 motion saying that the claims by these plaintiffs against Lively have no basis in law or fact and were brought only to harass Lively and prolong litigation and increase legal costs.

They've attached separate letters addressing the frivolous claims as to each individual plaintiff. Right now only the Abel letter is on Court Listener.

I haven't been through it all yet but presumably they are going through each claim in the amended complaint and identifying the lack of legal basis and the failure to present any facts to back up each claim as to each plaintiff. This is all going back to that group pleading issue from the MTDs, only a step further because now they are saying that by refusing to amend their complaint to address the group pleading issues, and proceeding with discovery as though these are valid claims by all plaintiffs against all defendants, this has become an abuse of the court system.

The motion seeks attorneys fees and other costs incurred by Lively in defending these claims, a formal reprimand by the court and "any additional" sanctions the court sees fit to impose.

Here's the motion: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304.223.0.pdf

Here's the letter regarding Abel: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304/gov.uscourts.nysd.634304.106.1.pdf[/quote]
