Who is this 'other lawyer'? Some percentage of ex-MMAR patients can still grow, I find it very hard to reconcile that is Conroy et al 'not doing any real favours'. As for Conroy's strategy regarding getting the injunction varied, I don't fully understand why it was discontinued at the higher level so this may well have been a bad move. There may however be some peculiarity of law that made this the best choice.
As I said, the balance of convenience is the most delicate and final 'test' that must be passed for an interlocutory motion to be granted. For better or worse, the judiciary is hesitant to intrude on matters of Parliament and even if the first test (Is there a serious issue to be tried?) and the second test (Will the plaintiffs suffer irreparable harm?) are passed, that does not guarantee an injunction will be granted. To say that those circumstances are Conroy's fault is just inaccurate. I recommend you read the case cited in the injunction ruling (R v SJS IIRC) as that case established the precedent for evaluation of interlocutory motions.
Other cases are stay'd pending Allard because if the matters are similar, it doesn't make sense to have 2 federal judges hearing the same case, or a judge at a lower court level to make a ruling that will be invalid per a higher court ruling. You can criticize how the legal process works but to put that on Conroy or any other lawyer is just dishonest.
you believe what you want and I will believe what i want. saying it's dishonest is just plain wrong. i am not dishonest nor am i passing on lies. i am criticizing what CONroy is doing and what he is not doing.
i know he dropped the ball...why did he not ask for immediate relief? why didn't he do a lot of things....??
you ask me the other lawyer, that info was given to me in confidence so i won't pass on the name. that wouldn't be cool.
I am aware of the other cases on hold-I'm part of one of them and a lead in another....if he did such a bang up job, why is there other actions?
why is he only going after reinstatement of the MMAR instead of repeal? the list of questions can go on and on.
what favours do you think he is doing? he is being paid by us. look at what it took for him to update us via his website...there are lots of things that can be said. he IS working on the case but i believe he could be taking bigger and better strides than what he is doing....like discontinuing the appeal in the higher court. Manson's decision puzzled the higher court..so they sent it back for clarification-once that was received, he discontinued the appeal there.notice how there's no information why he did that? i have been waiting weeks for my reply from his office.
I'm not a lawyer nor do i proclaim to be one but i do read a lot and ask a lot of questions

To say that those circumstances are Conroy's fault is just inaccurate"...where did i blame CONroy for that? i said he didn't do a good job on the getting the variance. the harm HAS been proven and that's why the injunction was granted....it's the "left outs" that need relief and he dropped the ball-with one more plaintiff that had valid papers but needed changes would have cut that off.
i truly believe he could be doing a much better job
