#LEGAL FEES

[alanshemper]

20 Jewish students were arrested at Brown University for peacefully protesting by doing a sit-in to call for a ceasefire in Gaza on Wednesday, November 8.

There is a GoFundMe to help with their legal fees, which is currently struggling ⬇️

Thank you for being here in solidarity with us, we feel you and appreciate your support. We encourage you match the donation you gave us to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF), linked below. Because legal fees are still in flux, any excess funds will be donated to PCRF.

Now new court documents seen by The Times show that Sir Peter has refused Harry permission to appeal and also that the Home Office has been "penalised" for delaying the release of certain information - dubbed "crucial" by Harry's team - about the workings of Ravec - the committee that arranges security for members of the Royal Family and other VIPs.

Prince Harry was given a 10 percent discount on his legal fees in his High Court battle against the Home Office over his UK security after the Government was punished for delaying the provision of key documents, it has been reported.

The Duke of Sussex took legal action against the Home Office over the February 2020 decision that he should receive a different degree of protection when he returned to the UK after he quit his royal duties.

He lost the case back in February with High Court judge Sir Peter Lane finding that "there has not been any unlawfulness in reaching the decision" to revise his security, adding: "Any departure from the policy was justified. The decision was not irrational. The decision was not marred by procedural unfairness."

According to the newspaper, the Home Office failed to mention three categories of people for whom Ravec provides state protection when it should have legally done so.

The three categories are role-based individuals - like royals - other VIPs and those who need occasional support.

This meant the prince's legal team had not been made aware of the "other VIP" category, which, according to them, was crucial to his claim.

Harry's team initially sought "a reduction of 50-60 percent because of the way in which the documents and information were disclosed" by the Home Office.

Sir Lane said that while the Home Office had not acted in bad faith, "the defendant's breaches are, in all the circumstances, sanctionable".

So I just had an idea about fundraising.

You know how sometimes it's pointed out that "If everyone who follows x or views y donated one dollar, z would be paid for"? But since there's no reason to really expect that to happen... most people probably just... don't bother, and the thing either doesn't get funded, or it does because of some very lucky outreach to some generous well-off people.

What if we had some kind of commitment poll? Not a Tumblr poll for the real thing (God no that wouldn't work), but the kind of surveys you put in your email for and you get the results when it's done. And the poll is just, "If X amount of people click this button too, I will donate $1 to the cause." Then you could be pretty certain (barring a massive amount of liars) that your one dollar is making all the difference.

(No actual commitment on this.)

Former President Donald Trump is diverting more donations from political supporters to fund his mounting legal costs as multiple court cases put an increased strain on his resources.

Disclosure text on the Trump presidential campaign’s WinRed digital fundraising platform now specifies that 10% of political contributions will go to his legal battles via the Save America PAC. The other 90% will be used for political campaigning to try to return him to the White House for a second term. The former president previously took 1% for his legal troubles from political donations.

Mr. Trump’s legal issues include his 37-count criminal indictment including violations of the Espionage Act and a sexual abuse civil lawsuit which was recently won by the writer, E. Jean Carroll.

The change, first reported by The New York Times, appears to have been made in February or March of 2023, according to archival footage reviewed by the newspaper.

The cost of Mr. Trump’s court battles can be seen in Save America PAC’s legal expenditures, which according to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), have ballooned from $1.9million to $14.6m in 2022.

A Trump campaign spokesman declined to comment to the Times on the former president’s legal bills or whether his supporters understood where their donations were going.

The spokesman said that the Save America PAC owns a sizable email list from Trump election campaigns in 2016 and 2020, valuable data that the Trump 2024 bid is essentially leasing from the PAC.

“Because the campaign wants to ensure every dollar donated to President Trump is spent in the most cost-effective manner, a fair-market analysis was conducted to determine email list rentals would be more efficient by amending the fund-raising split between the two entities,” Trump representative Steven Cheung told The Independent.

“This saves money in the long term and is a clear contrast to what Always Back Down has done, which is frivolously waste money in an unethical manner,” he added, a reference to the Never Back Down PAC run by Mr Trump’s primary opponent, Ron DeSantis.

Several members of Mr. Trump’s legal team have departed in recent days following his second criminal indictment with little explanation.

Even with an increasing amount of donations being siphoned off for mounting legal expenses, Mr. Trump is not expected to face a money crunch any time soon.

Mr. Trump remains the frontrunner for the 2024 GOP nomination, and last week, his campaign boasted that it had raised $7M from supporters since news broke of his indictment for allegedly mishandling government secrets.

With the campaign’s new fundraising split, that would mean around $700,000 that could be put towards his legal defence if donations were made through WinRed.

The #foxnews defamation fights with Dominion and Smartmatic soon will spill into Delaware #Chancery Court business. But first the court has to decide which pension funds will lead the investor litigation that seeks to hold Fox's senior leaders accountable for leaving the network open to potentially billions of dollars in liability. Any damages awarded after a trial or in a settlement would be paid into Fox’s corporate coffers by its directors or their insurers, regardless of which team of shareholders is named the lead plaintiff in a consolidated lawsuit following a hearing Thursday in Delaware’s Court of Chancery. But considering some of the eye-watering attorneys’ fees sought—$267 million in attorneys fees awarded in the Dell case! $230 million requested by attorneys in the Tesla board pay lawsuit!—in recent Delaware #shareholder lawsuits, the firms named lead counsel stand to take home a significant payday for holding Fox’s top brass accountable for false conspiracy theories the network broadcast about the 2020 #election.

Hi guys. I need some help. Please share if nothing else. Basically, my aunty died from cancer, and me and my brother were the beneficiaries of the will.

Please help if you can - but don't put yourself at risk - or at least share. Cheers guys xx

Perfect solution! And to further deter false accusations, let's also implement 'Accuser Accountability Insurance.' Premiums paid by the accuser, with payouts to the falsely accused.

I’m so pressed about how evil this company is that I’m reposting Alex’s gofundme over here. They’re trying to bury Alex under so many legal fees that they have no choice but to give up their ip… and they’re only one of many many people (and pets!) that have been harmed by this company.
