Subject: "Scandalous, Frivolous or Vexatious"
Newsgroups: uk.misc,uk.legal Organization: Toronto Free-Net Summary: Keywords: A couple of weeks ago I issued a summons against the BBC in my local county court, for the tort of private nuisance caused by the spying by their newsreaders on my home. My argument was that their spying had prevented me watching the news at home, and therefore interfered with my normal use of my home. The BBC's Litigation Dept at White City have replied not with a defence, but with an application for my claim to be struck out because; (a) it discloses no reasonable cause of action; and/or (b) it is scandalous, frivolous or vexatious. Their application will be heard next week. They have not made any affidavit in support of their application, nor have they given particulars as to why they consider my summons to be unarguable in law, which would be a necessary condition for there to be no reasonable cause of action. I am more worried about point (b). Allegations are scandalous (says Stuart Sime's book) if they impute dishonesty against another party; which my allegations do, against the BBC's newsreaders. As for frivolous or vexatious, I think that will be up to me to make a good argument for the effect the BBC's spying has had on my life, and up to the district judge's opinion of my case. Apparently seeking to have a claim struck out in this way is common practice when the plaintiff is a litigant-in-person. Even if it is struck out, there is always the opportunity to appeal. I think we could be in for a fight next week. .................................................. .........................

I'm not telling you which court it is. I don't want to be hounded by irate uk-miscreants! As for raising eyebrows, the member of staff who took the summons form didn't change their facial expression at all. Seen it all before, no doubt. .................................................. .........................

Just not, the, I think 180 posts, one week, when his illness got really bad. Oh yeah, and there was only three real posts, just repeated 60 times. Erm, explain this rather dubious statement. Congratulations. This is my first real flame for about a year. I try to control my anger when I come across another uninformed naive idiot on usenet, but sometimes it goes free. We've had Corley for well over three years now, and his constant spams of various degrees have killed a couple of usenet groups I really rather lied. uk.media, to name but one. I gets my goat to read another useless ****er thinking he is a harmless eccentric. Mike is mentally ill. He is unwilling to deal with it. He seems to think that uk.misc is some sort of forum that MI5 reads. And it should be avenged. He's mailbombed a large quantity of people, because they opposed his spamming. 1. He thinks MI5 watches him through his television 2. He thinks all references to mad people, refer to him 3. He thinks all people shouting, are shouting at him. 4. He's been diagnosed as mentally ill, just not a paranoid schizophrenic. 5. He gives not a shit about any newsgroups he abuses. 6. He goes through quiet periods, then _very_ nasty periods. 7. All evidence of this great conspiracy is laughable, to say the least. 8. He gives internet/usenet a bad name to the media. Including mailbombing Chris Tarrant and faxing various celebrities. I do not condescend to him. I actually know what he does, and has done in the past, and am frankly not too respectful of him. He can be openly referred to as "mad" because he is. Let's check my mailbox saves: Repost of when I thought I'd seen the last of loopy mike: Have you actually visited his web page, and read the massive conspiracy that is supposed to be against him? Apparently MI5 watch him, but for no reason. They do it for a laugh. Because they can. It costs them a lot of money, but they still do it. Reality is but a memory for this man. Heaven forbid.

His level of spamming had got to such outrageous proportions that we had to mount a concerted attempt to get his account(s) closed. The reason for the lack of spam lately is that Mike has been furiously swotting up on Law so he can bring an action as a LIP against the BBC (all solicitors having quite rightly and honourably declined to act for him). When this course of action is exhausted without result, I confidently predict that we will once again be the innocent victims of his ire and the spamming will commence again. .................................................. ......................... 11528 -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service ------->>>>>>http://www.NewsDemon.com<<<<<<------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
