I have no doubt of that. I think Benchmark just expected me to back down and say "No! please don't hurt me". Well... lol. They don't know me very well, or those like me.

Perhaps they'll charge $800 per kleenex tissue in raps/propheets to scare up some greenbacks.
A financial nosedive so steep you can hear the wings separating from the fuselage......

--- Quote from: "act.da" ---Congrats psy! I'm glad the court has done the right thing, it must put your mind at ease knowing you won't have to pay the $30,000 bill from fighting Benchmark's SLAPP.

Benchmark basically conceded the 30k. They tried to argue that's *all* we should get (meaning the lawyers get nothing). In their oral arguments at the hearing on the motion for attorney's fees, from what I hear they tried to argue that our side should get nothing at all. I haven't read the transcripts yet so I'm not sure how they were able to pull that one out of their ass, but clearly the judge saw it for what it was.

They expected your lawyers to work for free?
--- Quote from: "psy" ---I am *very* happy we got all the money back, but expected little else. They had no case, and they played too many games that the judge saw through. Towards the end, they more or less accused my attorneys of padding their bill. It certainly didn't make them look good to be throwing around such childish accusations. To me, they came off as desperate and bitter. Too bad, i say. They got what they deserved.

Well, like you said, the high bill is their own damn fault. If they didn't keep changing the complaint, your lawyers wouldn't have had to keep running around gathering more and more defense evidence.

As I understand it, they figured the retainer was enough. LOL. I'm going to *have* to read those transcripts because I just *need* to know how they made that sound anything but insulting to the intelligence of the court.
