Hi I'm a long time lurker, who read with disgust the last thread and wants to send Thanks, to caro. I've scanned since last thread finished for new one but no luck! Hope no one minds if I start one!

I too have made a donation but would also like reassurance it will go to your legal costs not to your ministry as I echo the PP: I can handle the dissonance of supporting you on some issues and not others!

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 30/04/2019 19:17

Just as there are lawyers who are keen to 'test the laws' and try to make a name for themselves by taking on such vexatious claims, there must be others on the other side of the fence (or history of you will) who are raging at the misuse of laws to protect being used to attach and abuse (and brave enough to go against the mob).

Where are they?

WombOfHerOwn · 30/04/2019 19:42

Has anyone seen the good Drs latest tweet?!

eurochick · 30/04/2019 19:43

@Absolutepowercorrupts have you seen the order? I'm curious as to why that would have been ordered. That would be very unusual (I'm a litigation lawyer dealing with court orders all the time). Usually you can choose from a raft of options for service. First class post is usually the method of choice in most cases.

Can someone PM me link to Caro's crowdfunder please?

SlightAggrandising · 30/04/2019 19:45

Haddock has no idea what he's talking about, another pretend lawyer...

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 30/04/2019 19:48

It took me one minute to discover the good Drs threat is completely unsubstantiated. Typical pretending to be a lawyer and know stuff - wonder where he got it from?

PenguindreamsofDraco · 30/04/2019 19:53

Yep, bollocks.

WombOfHerOwn · 30/04/2019 20:00

I would think it’s designed to scare off potential donors. Maximizing the financial hit on Caroline having to defend herself.

RuddyTrees · 30/04/2019 20:03

The doc's thinly-veiled attempt to scare women into not donating to a crowdfunder has made me want to donate again. Excellent work, raising awareness and reminding me to pop back to donate some more.

PenguindreamsofDraco · 30/04/2019 20:19

Once again I am left floundering. How does the entire world not FUCKING SEE THIS?

youllhavehadyourtea · 30/04/2019 20:19

I'm certainly donating

Harrap is a piece of work.

allabouteve1 · 30/04/2019 20:37

That tweet is ridiculous. Offering support here and if I can find it financial also.

MrsSnippyPants · 30/04/2019 20:43

Another one needing the correct link please. Appreciate a DM Flowers

JessicaWakefieldSV · 30/04/2019 20:46

Generally speaking, the discretion will not be exercised against “pure funders”, i.e. “those with no personal interest in the litigation, who do not stand to benefit from it, are not funding it as a matter of business, and in no way seek to control its course”.

allabouteve1 · 30/04/2019 20:55

Yup can't find it can someone DM me the link please

Needmoresleep · 30/04/2019 20:57

Caro, as other posters have suggested, it would be useful if you could confirm what would happen to any surplus funds.

ladymalfoy · 30/04/2019 21:01

Dr. Haddock. Snort.

ladymalfoy · 30/04/2019 21:04

I’m sure Caro would donate any excess to charities supporting women who have experienced violence in all its forms. Or are some of you concerned about scuttlebut?

Carowiththegoodhair · 30/04/2019 21:25

Any surplus funds will go straight into the corporate pot or fund set up to help other people finding themselves in similar situations.

I think an umbrella fund is an incredible idea and needs expediting ASAP.

DpWm · 30/04/2019 21:28

Caro
Please speak with Nic Williams, or any other high profile feminist activists to sort out a crowd-fundraiser

Absolutepowercorrupts · 30/04/2019 21:43

@Eurochick
What I saw was the revolting blog, with a screenshot of Caro's tweet questioning the personal service of the order, with explanations of the wording of the order in vile terms by the author of the blog who appeared to have access to the order. I do believe that the use of " in person" as a standard phrase, meaning by letter or other means to make sure that the document reaches the correct person has been seized upon by the narc and the narc has used this to validate their position.

Carowiththegoodhair · 30/04/2019 21:58

Court appearance is at 2pm on Thursday. The High Court. Just in case anyone is at a loose end. Smile

PenguindreamsofDraco · 30/04/2019 21:58

Well it's just nonsense. "Personal" in service refers to the Defendant, as in you can't serve it on a proxy. It doesn't refer to a claimant being required to stomp off in a very unfeminine way to do it themself. CPR 6.5 is very clear and easy to read, particularly for anyone with a track record of being involved in civil litigation, whoever they might be.
Which means whoever wrote that blog is either stupid, malicious or simply poorly advised.

Needmoresleep · 30/04/2019 22:02

Caro, thanks and good luck.
