Malicious Belford Lawsuit

Let me give you a little background of Belford Lawsuit to those who are not aware of it

Background:

Since November this year, we have been talking about the Belford Lawsuit across a wide range of forums and blogs online. It was heartening to see how the alumni got united to support Belford High School along with some notable educationists and professionals from the legal fraternity.

We have talked in great detail about the futility of the case. The consensus is that Googasian P.C, the law firm, is acting as the puppet of some organizations, which obviously have problems with the growing popularity of degrees based on life experience. I cannot write and say it better than Mr. Eric. Read his blog post here.

To summarize his point of view, he states that this lawsuit is baseless on two grounds. Firstly, Belford High School is a non-U.S. entity and secondly the terms of service mentioned on the website clearly protect Belford against any lawsuit of this nature.
Googasian, however, seems little interested in the actual outcome of the case. As I just said, they are more interested in creating negative press against Belford. This move, however, will be defended with more vigor and strength than Googasian could have imagined. The alumni and other associated groups of Belford will continue to expose this law firm’s real and true face to the general public. For that we’re in talks with a number of victims of Googasian’s corrupt lawsuits and they are willing and desperate to help us n this regard.

Where is this case leading to?
The million-dollar question is, despite all this brouhaha, what is actually happening to the case? Well, the short answer is NOTHING. Longer is, there are 3 possible scenarios.

Scenario A:

The court will not accept the case, based on the fact that Belford does not come under the jurisdiction of the courts in the United States. Since they won’t be able to summon the defendant, the case will not proceed.

Outcome: Googasian gets nothing, loses money on the publicity stunts, and faces a tsunami of publicity against the firm from the alumni.

Scenario B:

The court accepts the case, but then it’s rejected based on the grounds that Belford does not come under the jurisdiction of the courts in the United States and that their terms of service protect them from the lawsuit.

Outcome: Googasian gets nothing, loses money on the publicity stunts, and faces even more negative press

Scenario C:

In this highly unlikely scenario, the court accepts the case and Belford decides to pursue it in the US courts and the decision comes in favor of the defendant.

Outcome: Googasian gets nothing, loses money on the publicity stunts, and faces embarrassment and negative press.

Scenario D:

Googasian emerges glorious and victorious! The court rules in favor of the plaintiff, with the high school being ordered to pay thousands of dollars in damages.  Googasian is happy, the plaintiffs are happy! But wait, they don’t  get any money from the School. Did I mention Belford is not based in US?

Outcome: Googasian wins the case yet gets nothing, loses money on the publicity stunts, and faces embarrassment and negative press.

Two options for Googasian P.C

1) Back off! Retreat the case, and I, being the representative of all the alumni blogs and forums will make sure all the negative publicity about the firm is immediately stopped.

2) Do not retreat the case but stop and stop any negative press against the high school. This includes not sending out any press releases, taking down the website, belfordlawsuit.com and related websites. In return, I will make sure all websites targeting the case and the law firm stops all negative publicity.
