Estate's Opposition to Robson's request to amend his complaint: https://www.scribd.com/document/326200053/Estate-Opposition-to-Robson-4th-Amendment-Complaint

First allow me to provide a brief history of Robson’s civil case against MJ Companies to better explain the developments in this case.

Robson filed his original complaint against Doe defendants on May 2013 with only one cause of action of childhood sexual abuse. On February 2014, Robson amended his complaint to name the Doe defendants as MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures (aka MJ Companies). Estate filed a demurrer on June 2014 and a demurrer hearing was held on October 2014. During that demurrer Estate argued that corporations cannot engage in childhood sexual abuse. Judge granted Estate’s demurrer but gave Robson a chance to amend his complaint.

December 2014, Robson filed his third amended complaint, this time alleging several causes of actions against the MJ Companies including a negligence claim. On March 2015, Estate filed a second demurrer and the hearing for the second demurrer was on July 2015. This time judge denied Estate’s demurrer saying that it requires a factual determination in a proceeding beyond demurrer.

In a demurrer the Judge needs to accept everything alleged in the complaint as true and only determines if there is a legal basis for the lawsuit. Defendants cannot bring counter evidence about the claims in the complaint, they can only argue legal aspects. Therefore in his demurrer ruling, Judge was saying he needs more information to decide and that could only happen after discovery when both sides present their evidence, witnesses etc. That information would allow the Judge to determine if these claims have any merit at all and if it can satisfy the exception conditions. So the dismissal issue will get revisited at summary judgment.

This post won’t be my standard “summary of the court documents” blog post. I won’t be making a long list of legal aspects of the complaint. While I will refer to some elements in Robson’s new revised complaint, I will mostly write my personal take on the revisions. Consider this a disclaimer.

I regularly add the relevant court documents to my blog posts and you will find a copy of Robson’s proposed revised complaint below. You might wonder how I got this document. This time I didn’t get it from the court. I was able to get a copy because Robson’s new lawyers wrote a press release and added the document to it. In the less than 2 months they have been on the case, this is the second press release they have done with a negative document attached to it. This makes it clear that these new lawyers are attempting to try to this case in the media. Furthermore the once sealed and redacted complaint is no longer redacted. One can only assume they want the salacious media stories to force MJ Estate into a settlement.

Here is the document: https://www.scribd.com/document/324151013/Wade-Robson-Motion-To-Amend-Complaint

On September 7, Robson lawyers email Estate lawyers saying they want to amend Robson’s complaint. Simply put they want to remove the sexual abuse causes of action and add negligence causes of action. Estate replies they believe it is too late to amend the complaint and say they won’t agree to a new complaint. Therefore Robson lawyers file a motion with the court asking the court to allow them to proceed with a new revised complaint. In their motion they add a copy of their proposed revised complaint. A hearing on this matter will be heard on October 7th and the judge will decide if he will allow a revised complaint or not.

Wade Robson Civil Case: Deposition War

Since Judge Beckloff’s move to Santa Monica earlier this year, the documents related to the civil cases Beckloff oversees are no longer scanned and added to the online documents system. That meant we only had the public case summary information available to us. Unfortunately case summary system only provides limited information, showing the names of the documents filed, hearing dates and outcomes. While it provides some information, we still have to guess what is happening. As the case summary system showed some new documents at Robson case, I thought it would be best if we can try to get the documents so that we could learn the new developments in both Robson and Safechuck cases. Luckily Betty Brynes graciously agreed to go and get the documents. We wouldn’t have this information if it wasn’t for her. I’m grateful for all her help.

The last information we had about Robson case as follows:

  • -       September 21, 2015 - Judge overruled Estate’s demurer, Robson’s case proceeds to the next phase of discovery and summary judgment.
  • -       November 23, 2015 - Estate appeals Judge’s ruling on demurrer.
  • -       February 17, 2016 – Estate’s appeal has been denied.
  • -       March 3, 2016 – Case schedule including a tentative trial date is set.
  • -       July 13, 2016 – Robson changes lawyers. Manly, Stewart, Finaldi are his new lawyers.

This brings us to August 2016. Case summary has shown two things: mental evaluation of Robson and Robson’s deposition. The motions we got from the court helped us tremendously to learn what happened over the last few months.

Since Judge Beckloff’s move to Santa Monica earlier this year, the documents are no longer scanned and added to the online documents system. Betty Brynes graciously agreed to go and get the documents. We wouldn’t have this information if it wasn’t for her. I’m grateful for all her help. In this post I’ll do an update about Safechuck case and I’ll do a separate post about the Robson case. Trust me, you wouldn’t want to miss it.

The last information we had about Safechuck cases are as follows:

  • -          In September 2015, Judge dismissed Safechuck’s probate claim against MJ Estate.
  • -          In June 2015, Judge reviewed filings and allowed the start of Safechuck’s civil case against MJ Companies. 
  • -          In July 2015, Safechuck have filed his civil complaint. Then amended his complaint in October 2015
  • -          In December 2015, Estate have filed their demurrer against Safechuck civil case.
  • -          A hearing on the demurrer motion was set for March, 2016.

I can now report that Judge Beckloff ruled on the demurrer on August 23rd, 2016 – just 10 days ago.
