Defamation action by David Bain' supporter Joe Karam against members of Justice for Robin Bain (JFRB) was back in court in Auckland today.
Mr Karam's lawyers, along with respondents Kent Parker, from JFRB, and Vic Purkiss were at the High Court in Auckland for a hearing regarding the defamation case.
Mr Karam, who was not at court this morning, has made several defamation claims over alleged statements on JFRB's Facebook site and Counterspin.
The High Court website said today's hearing was to cover applications for orders striking out various defences, for particular discovery and for an order setting aside the defendants' claim to privilege.
The hearing was held in chambers and media were not allowed to attend.
Looks like his defences could be struck out, 3 strikes and all that. Poor Kenty, might have to hand over a lot of files that could show stalking for example, attempts to Pervert the Course of Justice, files that contain the names of the good old pals, Curran, O'Brien, Taylor and others in efforts to conspire to break the law both civil and criminal. But privilege as well? Kenty and Vic claiming privilege, I wonder what they could be? Client privilege, in respect communications between a bunch of nutters to a camp mother nutter - what a novel twist.
Oh well, at least the extent of his outrageous claims of defence were not heard in public so as to presumably avoid prejudicing the trial. The beat keeps on and Kent Parker tonight takes home the misery he sought to depart upon others. Suck it up Kent.
sounds like the respondents are representing themselves. Guess there's no dosh in the fighting fund? what a joke these 2 losers are!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Kenty is leaving it a little too late to have a new political party started in time for the next election, maybe he had been relying on a full to the brim fighting fund with some left over for his political aspirations. Instead of that he was trying to hawke off 'I love Kent' tee shirts on the steps of the High Court, whilst old Vic was sitting on a monkey's shoulder with a cup held out while the monkey played an organ grinder.
