And still another round
Had another (and I hope final) round with the wily veteran I have blogged about here and here.
Sometimes, parties agree to submit issues for decision without hearing and hence, without the judge present. That was the case for today.
The lady lawyer (representing our co-defendant) merely moved to submit the issue of the restraining order for decision. I joined her motion to resolve the issue and end the "hearing" as quickly as possible.
The wily veteran, sensing no actual hearing shall take place (and hence, may not be paid), wanted to make a manifestation. The court staff almost made a beeline to call the judge.
With impatience, I said to make his manifestion in writing, so we can actually counter that. The court staff agreed and insisted that be so. The wily veteran had no choice but to capitulate because we were all leaving the courtroom. And there went his chances of getting paid his appearance fees for today.
Sweet revenge of sorts.
