“It’s insane. It’s so unjust and so manipulative,” she said. “It’s a fraudulent organization that’s hiding behind religion. People talk about kangaroo courts? This is like Disneyland-on-crack court.”

Valerie's quote is a perfect characterization of $cientology.

"In California, an arbitration award will stand unless the party challenging the decision can show (1) "the award was procured by corruption, fraud, or other undue means"; (2) "the rights of the party were substantially prejudiced by the misconduct of a neutral arbitrator"; or (3) an arbitrator failed to make a timely ..."

She left CoS. She is not fooled by your tactics anymore and if you haven't figured out yet that she won't drop this you're going to regret it.

Go Team Go!

Total insanity. Can’t believe Valerie has the balls to go through with more arbitration. Can’t believe the judge thinks this is anywhere close to justice or a legally defined arbitration. Scn sounds like Hell on Earth.
