naomi arbabi, a Canadian lentzian Lawyer

[JohnPCapitalist]

CBC is reporting that Arbabi has "resigned" her law license. Article mostly recaps prior history, so not much new material there.

At the beginning of the interview, she joked, "I'm still a lawyer, but perhaps soon I won't be."

Even knowing how stupid it was and how it would affect her life, Full Steam Ahead.

Another shoutout to Meads though.

This time he's not guzzling scotch. I, however, am posting this at almost 3AM while, as usual, imbibing significant quantities of red wine. Each to his own.

[Hercule Parrot]

Well as tedious as my day was it was good to get out in the field again rather than just reviewing decisions and articles.

Thank you, Burnaby. I've passed many evenings browsing your funny, insightful reportage. This contemporaneous history writing, or real-time anthropology, is very much appreciated.

[Burnaby49]

You're welcome. As I've often noted I generally wrote up the epic postings late at night while guzzling red wine and listening to 1950's jazz; the combination tended to set up a mocking, sarcastic mood conducive to my writing style. Sadly those days are pretty much gone now that the Canadian Freeman/Sovereign movement has collapsed and all of the Paradigm prosecutions have finally run their course. However, once in a long while, someone like Arbabi bursts out of nowhere and gets me back in the game.

It's not up on the Courts of British Columbia site yet (2024 BCSC 810) but the Arbabi v McClelland costs case decision has been made.

TL;DR Ms. McLelland gets $29,510.34 in costs.

It is available via Greg Palm's linkedin post, and the good Doctor has posted a commentary on Twitter.

And on the CBC news...

[The Observer]

In one of the above links, there is the claim that arbabi used a website called The Sovereign's Way. I found the site, which is full of sovereign claptrap promises. Is there any idea of who is the owner/promoter of that site? I don't think it is Karl Lentz.

From here: two guys who refer to themselves as the man: Greg Paul and the man: Jon Little

Fill your boots with Greg Paul and his soporific voice and accent I can't pin down:

[JamesVincent]

There any word on official sanctions against her license yet?

[rogfulton]

Not sanctions but still good to see.

Defendant here. I would like to thank the Quatloos community for its interest in the Arbabi case. It has definitely been an education for me. Believe it or not, Arbabi paid her costs amount in full with interest. Pls see an update here with my gratitude towards your members: https://x.com/dripping_roast/status/1798173119913562183

[wserra]

Welcome to Q, AD2.

I'm glad you were made at least partly whole, although I'm sure memory of the aggravation remains. We do this in part because we find these idiots amusing. But their antics cause real-life consequences to real-life people who have done nothing to deserve them.

Thanks for the shout-out in Muskville.

D. Netolitzky astutely observed “Also unusual is that the pseudolaw actor has substantial assets.” https://x.com/DNetolitzky/status/1795200584225841605
I would be interested to know if this is one of the few times that an OPCA litigant has paid their court ordered amount in full.

Ms. Anderson, mentioned elsewhere on Quatloos, has paid much more substantial amounts to the courts. That being said, she is the beneficiary of a very healthy estate and the sums are extracted from a large deposit paid from the estate trust to the court.

[ArbabiDefendant2]

Thanks for the reply.

I was somewhat familiar with Ms. Anderson and her shananigans. I understand that at one point she was fined $300,000. What I didn't know is that the cost judgment was registered against her inheritance. Good to know. Any kind of accountability and deterrent like this is good for all!

Thanks again for the update.

[ArbabiDefendant2]

I thought some of you might be interested in my behind-the-scenes account of defending Arbabi's claim.

I share my experience up until the claim was dismissed. After that, I was fortunate to be represented, pro bono, by Greg Palm of Hamilton Duncan for the costs assessment. He put on a masterclass in litigation and obtained the full amount claimed. Although, I may write about that hearing as well, because Arbabi continued her nonsense prompting Registrar Gaily to say, "I think you should visit the law library."

Hope you enjoy the read:

[JamesVincent]

It's nice to see some good come out of the cases we cover. Often times even if a defendant wins it leaves them still bankrupt from all the litigation involved and, as the old saw goes, you can't get blood from a turnip. Glad to see someone actually recover what they deserved.

And I'll add a belated welcome onto Wes'. Hope to see you stick around. People who have already survived a battle have some good insights into the mind and actions of these.... people. Like Eric you made it through.

[ArbabiDefendant2]

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I have every intention of sticking around. I was a producer in a former life and an "Arbabi v. McLelland" documentary is in the works. I would love to pick some of your members' brains when the time is right. : )

[eric]

Eagerly awaiting a documentary - the more publicity the better since too many people are in their own little bubble and believe these pseudolaw approaches actually work. Side note, my interaction with Kumar/Johnson still leave a bad taste in my mouth since I had to break multiple people's/organization's personal agendas.
