We’ve seen several lawsuits filed by former Scientologists get forced out of court and into Scientology’s own internal “religious arbitration” in recent years, and next week there’s yet another that is facing a showdown over this, in the lawsuit filed by Jane Doe 1, who alleges she was forced as a minor into a marriage by Scientology in order to cover up underage sexual assault.
Good luck to all the plaintiffs and their legal teams. The courts in the US really should stop giving preferential treatment to an organisation whose head does not accept legal service.
Ugh Sandrine is a lawyer. Poor kid. I hope she escapes soon.
As for the arbitration ruling, if he rules against it, it will be appealed, if he rules for it it will be appealed. He needs to take his time to ensure whatever he says is viewed favorably in the appeals courts.
I view the Scientology ship as continuing to slowly sink. The only people left on the ship are the crew and a gaggle of greedy lawyers. Miscavige can no longer make these court cases disappear. And every case continues to shine a light of truth that reach’s more of the general public. I applaud the Jane Doe’s and their lawyers.
Regarding the promotion from the London org; cover half Sandrine’s face. Her left eye shows her true condition. Forget the phony smile, her eye says it all, she’s psycho.
Does the EFAA allow for claims dating before the act was made into law?
Google says:
"The Act applies to any dispute or claim that “arises or accrues” on or after March 3, 2022. While not technically retroactive, the Act may be applied to limit the enforceability of arbitration agreements entered into before March 3, 2022, if the dispute arose on or after that date."
I'll let the legal minds fight out the rest of the suit. But for my dollar, $cientology is to be denied forced arbitration in this case. And hopefully, any other case that is yet to be filed.
One sentence from Scientology in their rebuttal or whatever you call it, is so telling. "...Plaintiff would not have been permitted to attend absent execution of the Agreement."
To think the new ruling act of 2022 doesn't apply it (Scientology) shows their never-ending egotism. I can't wait to see what the judge does with this.
What does it matter if a cult member is in good standing or not. It’s one sided and makes no sense. Why is this confusing for any judge? You want them to in private face the abuser? DM is a coward and a COS POS!

It looks like Sandrine did look happy enough in her OT3 photo to not get in trouble and keep promoting Scientology.

More gaslighting. I doubt everyone is not as stupid as scientology thinks they are. Game over DM.
Thanks, Tony.
