UBC sent out notifications to at least some of the Mordvinov class members whom I identified for it. These class members should have received the notification of this case’s existence last year – but, better late than never! If you are coming to this website for the first time after the initial communication – welcome. You can find the case history by clicking the “Current Case Status” tab at the top.
Unfortunately, UBC chose not to respond at all to our follow up letter outlining the insufficient or missing documents it must disclose. This ridiculous foot-dragging has gone on since last May and beyond. My lawyer is drafting an Application for Documents, in which we will request all documents to be provided unredacted and all relevant ones produced. We had hoped to have the Application ready by March 15, but she has been in Hearings for other cases. I will post the Application on the “Documents” tab once it is filed, as well as email it to class members who have told me they want to receive it.
Through some of my own efforts reaching out to people who have relevant documents, it is evident that UBC did not bother to collect them for disclosure. As with the class member communication situation – and going back to its mishandling of every single report of sexual violence by Dmitry Mordvinov – UBC’s “strategy” is to choose to do nothing and hope it works out.
The Application to Dismiss for my case is still pending, since I’m entitled to all disclosure prior to responding to it. The deadlines have been set aside.
Last month I neglected to share the great news that Stephanie Hale’s case survived the Application to Dismiss.
Finally, I will be traveling from March 15 to April 7 and I will have only intermittent access to email, and likely none to social media. I apologize if this causes any inconvenience.
