Citing a May 23 US Supreme Court ruling about arbitration disputes, attorneys for Valeska Paris and Gawain and Laura Baxter have asked the Tampa federal court to reconsider its ruling forcing their labor trafficking lawsuit into Scientology’s “religious arbitration.”
Valeska Paris and the Baxters and their lawyers deserve kudos. The unraveling of Scientology’s unjust, inhuman protective mechanism has been an uphill battle. Hubbard was a clever and devious sociopath..
He built a pyramid of policies and advices to protect his criminal empire. Without the continued exposure and legal challenges of many brave souls Scientology would not be shrinking as fast as it is.
Like a virulent virus we cannot rest until it is eradicated from the world. Thanks to Valeska and the Baxters for pushing forward.
While Valerie Haney is suffering enforced abuse at the hands of a court order, others are battling to ensure that abuse stops. At some point, the fact that a “volunteer” or a “ religious penitent” is even signing secular contracts should make a court, or preferably a government say “enough, this is not a religion.”
Valeska Paris jumped on the $cieno 'arbitration' hand grenade and may have done what is necessary to finally find $cieno 'arbitration' unconscionable. All hail Valeska, Hip Hip Hooray.....
It is way past time for the courts to catch up to Miscavige's 'you can't interfere with my internal workings because....religion'. Contract law does not supersede freedom from religion.
Good for the SCOTUS for looking at this loophole and decide that don’t like it. No idea how it will go in actual court, but good luck to Valeska and to her legal team.
There is hope this may extend in Valerie Haney's case. Enough is more than enough with her forced arbitration along with everything else forced by Scientology and Miscavige,
More power to Valeska to never give up… laws around coercive control are just starting to gain traction, I hope… see the Hildebrand/Franke, Daybell/Vallow cases. People, including children, cannot be abused without consequences, it is barbarism. This cult must end. Strength to all former Scientologists. 💜⚖️

This is great news!

Looking forward to seeing this happen
