  • The plaintiff says a ceiling leak destroyed his big-screen smart TV, but he claims his landlord - the defendant - denies any responsibility. He’s suing him for the value of the TV. The defendant’s legal counsel says the TV is seven years old and isn’t worth anything. The defendant has filed a countersuit for malicious prosecution.

      He knew if he brought the super that his client’s defence in this case would have been blown because their sworn testimony would have supported the plaintiff’s side, so on that end he is a smart lawyer. The fact that he doesn’t know the difference between malicious prosecution and abuse of process is what makes me scratch my head regarding how he passed the bar.
