Well now, what a special day in court! Ryan Thompson dba Pro Solar Hawaii I'm going to guess is not happy at all after todays court hearing. There appeared to be extra squirming on his (Ryan Thompson dba Pro Solar Hawaii ) part before and after the Judge made their case against me twice as hard and i would guess twice as expensive for them.
If you have followed my blog as I keep it updated as to what happens as I deal with what i see as the worst solar contractor company on the Big Island of Hawaii, Pro Solar Hawaii. You know in the case of Ryan Thompson dba Pro Solar Hawaii vs. Me, I had left off where I filed motions with the court (Ryan Thompson dba Pro Solar Hawaii lawsuit update 2.0). One was the "Motion of Defendant to Strike References to Matters Covered by Rule 408." This goes to Ryan Thompson dba Pro Solar Hawaii's claim that my offers of settlement were nothing but an attempt to extort money from them. Funny thing is that as of today, my first settlement offer would have been cheaper for Pro Solar Hawaii than the amount it's going to be after this and upcoming cases will be in total. LOL!
Today his Honorable Judge approved my "Motion to Strike References to Matters Covered by Rule 408" -- my settlement offer made at the request of Pro Solar Hawaii. I'm not a big city lawyer. Nor do I play one on TV. But i am going to go out on a limb and say the part of their lawsuit where they claim "blackmail and extortion" is now out for good. It was silly for Pro Solar Hawaii to even try. Although, I do find that they did all kinds of silly things when I hired them. See my post - Pro Solar Hawaii does not know how to read an architect plan I think.
The next beauty handed to Ryan Thompson dba Pro Solar Hawaii is that my "Motion of Defendant to Dismiss Amended Complaint for Failure to Join Necessary Party" produced an order by his Honorable Judge that to be able to sue me, they have to also sue the Better Business Bureau. By claiming that Thomas Paddock, CEO of Sound Research Corporation, decided not to do business with him based on what the Better Business Bureau posted to their website. The Judge says that the BBB must be sued with me. This is not going to be an easy task for Pro Solar Hawaii. One can easily see that to sue the BBB is going to cost a lot of money. Not only in filing costs, service, etc., but the BBB I'd say are going to call in the big guns from Honolulu. This makes me especially giddy as now I will know exactly why Pro Solar Hawaii lost its BBB accreditation, and that I had been lied to by Pro Solar Hawaii using the BBB's name.
Pro Solar Hawaii is now in a world of shi-! |
I also can't help wondering if Ryan Thompson dba Pro Solar Hawaii bringing the BBB into a lawsuit will keep Ryan Thompson from ever having a business accredited with them ever again? I can't believe the BBB is going to be too happy to hear that a formerly accredited business is suing them for what they posted to their website. Truth be told, I truly and honestly do hope that Ryan Thompson dba Pro Solar Hawaii does not decide to drop his case instead of trying to bring the BBB into their frivolous lawsuit. It's worth every penny to me just to watch Ryan Thompson in court.
I do have to admit in the spirit of transparency that not all my motions today were granted by the court. My "Motion of Defendant to Dismiss Amended Complaint for Failure to State a Claim Upon Which Relief Can Be Granted, or in the Alternative, for a More Definitive Statement" was not granted at this point. Please! No pity party for me yet, thank you..
I'm only guessing when I tell you the reason is, it would be moot because the case cannot be moved forward until the BBB is added as a Defendant. That does not mean it will not be granted later. Pro Solar Hawaii may just decide costs and time are going to be outside their comfort zone. I do beg them to continue, I really do. I still have many other things for this case up my sleeve. I'll bet this case will make one from the TV show LA Law look like a small claims court case from BFE. :)
That is the Review of Pro Solar Hawaii court case. I look forward to seeing just how Ryan Thompson dba Pro Solar Hawaii decides they want to proceed.
