Hurt Locker attorneys ask for sanctions against attorney that sold forms to downloade

[pornlaw]

Interesting development. The firm representing the producers of the movie "The Hurt Locker" are asking a federal Judge to impose sanctions against another lawyer that sold forms ($19.99) to the defendants in that case. He didnt represent the defendants just sold them forms they could use to defend themselves....

The attorneys for "The Hurt Locker" are claiming that the attorney that sold the forms knew the use of such forms would only cause undue delay and not be used in a manner consistent with federal rules of procedure. And thus they have had to expend $5000.00 in attorney fees opposing the form motions filed by the users.

Well.. no offense but lawyers can at times file shit just to file shit to delay stuff. If, and that's a big if, what they are saying is true I would have no problems with it. I'll be the first to admit if I was a lawyer I'd push the boundaries as far as I could but I also think it's it's good that they get a wake up call from time to time if they try and get a bit too inventive in a manner that is a blatantly a tactic to delay and mess with the process and nothing more.
