Summary of
the second day of hearing for the application for authorization of the class
action lawsuit against the Watchtower in Quebec
(Canada),
Montreal Courthouse. December 18, 2018.
On our
side, there were the same two lawyers and there were about 14 people who
assisted in the hearing on our side. On the side of the JWs, like yesterday
they had 2 lawyers plus their assistants, that is 4 people, but who are not JW
and about 16-19 people in the audience.
One of the
Watchtower's lawyers made vicious attacks on the plaintiff in the class action
against the WT and did everything to try to discredit her and her cause. He
also claimed that this lawsuit was orchestrated by a group of opponents who
tried to exploit the judicial system and that it would be a religious
inquisition. Also, he was very very repetitive in his arguments as before and
extremely dishonest and even lied and showed only one side of the coin. He also
pleaded the statute of limitations. The lawyer on our side counter argued very
well.
The judge
is not going to make her decision by Christmas or early next year, but it
should be fast. I do not personally think she will reject the lawsuit, but it
will only be the beginning of the fight. To be continued.
