Clayton Wade Law Suit Update...
When I first introduced this topic and explained that Clayton Wade of Premiere International was suing me (about 3 or 4 weeks ago), I held back some information. I didn't tell you at that he was also suing David Crudduck of Paragon Executive Search at nearly the same time. That's right. I was not the first target on Claytons list. Mr Cradduck was served with papers first in Clayton's home town of Pattaya.
Just isn't that interesting? Clayton swore in his testimony inside his legal complaint about me that everything that I had written on the web site was a complete lie 100%, yet he had the notion to sue the other party.... Hum.... How would Clayton know to sue David?
If David told me absolutely nothing and I fabricated the entire story, then it would have been obvious that Crudduck couldn't have been involved and Clayton would have had no reason to suspect that Crudduck contacted me at all.
Rather, in this case, Clayton knew for sure Crudduck had communicated to me because obviously elements of the email that I received must have been true or very close to the truth....
I think suing Crudduck, and then claiming that I personally fabricated a story is going to weight against Clayton....
But there is another problem.... A bigger problem for Clayton. He has to show up first. That weasel didn't even have the nerve and the respect for the Thai court system to show up for the hearing that he called against Mr Crudduck on the 23rd of February. Crudduck rebuffed Wade by default.
The word from Mr Crudduck was that Wade's attorney made an attempt to delay the proceedings by several months.... what the joke.
If Clayton can't take the time to show up at a hearing that he asked for in his own home town, what are the chances that he is going to take a flight and show up 500Km in the Northeast and show me down? I would say about .002%. Even if he did, I think we would squash him like a bug (metaphorically of course).
People, it looks as if we won't really get a good test of the law on this law suit. Wining by default doesn't really tell us anything.
The hearing is scheduled to occur fairly soon and I'll have another update for you when that shakes out. My guess is that this is going to be a Clayton Wade no show / cancellation. This might very well be just a simple example of a loud, foul mouthed farang who tries to take advantage of other farangs by intimidation.
