RE:RE:Court sets evidence points for 29407There is already an appeal by CMN against the 5th Civil Court because they failed to rule on the jurisdiction question after the Appeal Court found in CMN's favor that the question of jurisdiction should be taken under consideration. Since the 5th Court has already refused 2 times to rule, I have no idea what they are going to do, but the Appeal Court could go ahead and make the jurisdiction ruling for CMN just as they did for the BCSC. Kaboom, no lawsuit.
CMN's position on jurisdiction is that the press release was issued in Canada by a Canadian company, and CMN had no control over the issuance. I also believe that CMN's position is that even if somehow they are found responsible for the press release, no damages were caused by it.
However, the statute of limitations had expired by the time CMN was legally notified of the lawsuit, so I think the suit will be dismissed on that basis no matter what happens on jurisdiction.
