This. UPE's counsel is advocating for his client and he may never have seen this
and, although uncommon, it's not unheard of.

That's funny... a predatory towing company suing for defamation.

Truth is a defense. He will likely be able to find more than 200 stories.

If all he needs are thousands of stories, I've got one I'll share with him.

Me too. I have two stories.

I wonder what he would need to do to prove hundreds. Shouldn't be too hard.

This article doesn't paint the kid in the best light though.

Have you ever dealt with UPE? Trust me, he is NOT the problem.
westsidecoug

Nope, but I did read the article, and just noted how it painted him. That's all.

journalists usually do give both sides of a conflict a chance to explain

Yup. That company could burn to the ground and no one would be sad.

You are anti sue happy, but support UPE in their defamation suit against a kid?

Remember that statement came from the corrupt towing company's lawyer. It isn't

Winners appeal what they think are unreasonably small verdicts all the time.

There were no damages to claim. It is ridiculous.

Did you read the pleadings?
displacedute

that's a quote from Defendant's attorney. Why does that paint him in a bad light
Archaea

That quote is from the opposition's lawyer, so...

I pray that UPE loses the suit and has to pay Prince's attorney fees.

Their yelp reviews are blowing up lately...

The kid should enter the Yelp reviews as evidence
bluelands

It's 86 now. But at the bottom you can see there are 194 more reviews that aren't recommended.

Have you dealt with UPE? Suing them is better than what my wife has wanted to do
TheLost

It sounds like he's trying to affect change within the company. Good luck.
OneUpper
6/12/18 9:54am
But is he being ethical himself while he does it?
Skeptical Optimist
6/12/18 10:57am
Where is he claiming damages he doesn't have?
displacedute
6/12/18 11:01am
He says he would drop it if they weren't suing him.
BYUtka

Maybe I misread the article, but it says that he appealed the verdict before
Skeptical Optimist

That seems to be what the tow company's lawyer wants us to think. I am not sure.

the article seems clear to me that his appeal is over and finished and the

UPE does a lot of things wrong. Their very existence is wrong.

Your second sentence is not true.

Necessary? That is debatable.
BYUtka

No, it's not necessary.
crazY

If you got rid of them you would have a much worse parking situation
jkccoug

Do you know how they do business, or are you assuming that you know how they

I know.

Would we? I am not so sure.I don’t think they are performing a necessary service
BYUtka
6/13/18 6:35am
Agreed. They're predatory at best.

Predatory is the exact word...and why they are a problem.

The employee's and management have the attitude that they own Provo/BYU.

My one experience with them inidcates to me that they're not to be trusted
BYUMizzou

These are their tactics. They are dishonest and have no integrity at best.

In general you need parking rules to be enforced. Someone has to do that.

Studying or siding?

Bob Vance

Why? It seems this is nothing but their corruption starting to catch up to them.

You think the kid should be liable for defamation?
