Where were we??? Oh yeah...

AT A SESSION OF SAID COURT, HELD AT THE COURTHOUSE, IN THE CITY OF SAGINAW, COUNTY OF SAGINAW AND STATE OF MICHIGAN, ON THE 7TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2008.

PRESENT: HONORABLE FRED L. BORCHARD, Ciruit Judge

For the most part, in brief.. they denied our motion for final order...ruled that any and all "stays" be lifted, that the property shall be conveyed to Plaintiff, DAVID C. SYMONS, his agents, servants or assigns... and that all fees, costs, attorney fees, expenses associated with this case, charges or fees by David Meyer, Mediatior/Facilitator, costs associated with the processing title be assembled and given to David Meyer, along with the preparation and conveyance of title to Plaintiff, DAVID C. SYMONS, his agents, servants or assigns....and on and on.

It wasn't a good day for us in court. I was just reading the actual transcript of this hearing and it's actually sort of funny. Perhaps I will post it. It makes the judge sound sort of stupid. Really stupid. Oh well.

So, we figured we are about done with all of this. Along came David Meyer's report with 29 pages of Phil's fees. He sure did a lot of talking to Rick. He sure seemed to be pretty slow in writing up letters and things.. think we'll have to argue this one. Also, David Meyer attempted to put together a list of fees etc. that the seller/buyer etc. would be responsible for. Seems to be rather off his rocker and missing some things. Back to court. Thanksgiving was approaching and it sure looked like a great time for all of us!! More court. More to follow.... remember, do not try this at home.

Why shouldn't slymons pay for all legal fees and whatever else? I mean he started this whole mess. That's what's wrong with all this. The person that files the court order should be the one paying. You guys didn't do anything to have this happen. Sick!!!

By law, partition cases protect the plaintiff. The way it is viewed is that the plaintiff had to seek partition due to the "other owners" failure to agree on terms. He had to seek relief through the court. Doesn't matter that HE refused to discuss anything. Hey all.. this is ugly. Please think about how to protect your cottages from family members who don't communicate.

Thank god we communicate and agree this lawsuit is the worst. We as family members never had a problem with anything pertaining to the cottage. It was given to us from our relatives to enjoy as much as possible. It was never intended for lawsuits. This case is just about a greedy old sole that didn't want to share their cottage.
We enjoy it and take care of our own. If someone doesn't like it then we discuss the problems amongst our selves. No courts or lawyers. We are grown enough to realize it could be taken away in an instant. We hold onto the love of lakeside and the privacy that we have known for generations.

Right, so what's this nonsense about children being off limits?

Rick was majorly involved.

So you guys were solely responsible for your own legal fees and court costs, as well as Slymies's attorney Sturtz, Mr. Meyer etc. etc.

This is rape.

What were the total fees you guys had to fork over to pay for the plaintiff's unprovoked aggression?

Were these fees taken off the top, or did you have to pay them separately?

What about your legal fees? Were those your own responsibility too?

Sounds like someone needs to change the law of partition.

Your Uncle Slymie is the poster child for everything wrong with it.
