As these appeals pile up, reducing the awards, whittle away at the benefit left after fees, both "victims" and their legal teams will be more reluctant to start action. If that is wt's aim, they choosing the right path, for the wrong reasons.
What are you talking about prologos? Are you serious! Defendants are defending the action brought against them. Defendants have no aim. Defendants did not commence the action. Defendants aim is to defend the action brought against them. You may not like this, but, just as Plaintiffs have the right to access the Court system and to commence legal proceedings against Defendant, Defendant also has the right to defend.
Appeal efforts to do not reduce award sums, the Court, after re evaluating and reviewing all of the facts and evidence decide. But that is what the Plaintiffs want, no? They want the Court to decide. That is why they brought the case to Court to begin with. They want the Court to look closer and closer at all of the facts because the closer the Court looks the better they look and the better off they are going to be. The evidence has not changed, the facts have not changed but the higher Courts are taking a closer look. Don't worry, that is what the Plaintiffs want.
It is the Court and not the appeal that has reduced the judgment amount in this case based on the Court's review of the case. If the Court did not favor Plaintiff, don't blame the Defendant. But it tell you something about the lower Court's ruling. They were legally wrong. That is how the Court sees it and that is why Appellate lowered lower Court's award. You may not like it, but that is the law. No need to worry because now the Supreme Court is going to take another look at the case. That is what the Plaintiffs want, no? That is what I would want if I was in the right. I would not care about money, I would want justice regardless of the price. However, Plaintiffs agreed to deprive alleged child molester related to this case from being subjected to legal proceedings and having to show up in Court and be cross examined. Would you agree to that or would you demand that the person that you believed harm you or harmed your child be required to appear in Court?
Defendants are doing nothing wrong by defending the action brought against them.They are helping the Plaintiffs by having the Courts take the closest look possible at everything and have the Court come to a decision based on exhaustive analysis of everything. That is what the Plaintiffs want. That is what I would want if I was in the right.
