What the fuck. She needs to be disbarred.

Honest question: with this level of complete insanity in a legal filing, what are the chances that a deranged sov cit who has somehow passed the bar, is disbarred? Surely a point blank refusal to acknowledge the authority of the legal system is grounds?

I mean, if the law doesn't apply to anyone who says the magic words in the right order, then this person shouldn't be too upset they're being removed from representing that legal system, right?

LOL at the reporter posting the insane letter she received from the woman threatening to sue if her story was told without her consent. The crazy arabi must be fuming the reporter saw that and was like, "Yup I'm gonna post this because this is bullshit."

Lol what is wrong with people? Have we come so far that individuals have so much free time to build nonsense in their mind. ( her name is a dead entity corporation created by a birth certificate LooooL)

"That i possess a licence to practice law in the legal jurisdiction of the province of British Columbia does not make i into a lawyer, the same way that having a driver's licence to drive a motor vehicle does not make i into a driver," Arbabi said.

Uhhh, whut.

My question is how did this person ever become a lawyer???

Any unhinged literate person can, you just have to get a few technical questions right; then you can go on to exercise the opposite of what you answered to get that grade

β€œMany courts, including the claimant, have trouble understanding what is often referred to as natural law. … Natural law β€” or as i call it, just law β€” is that which is so obvious that it is not required to be written down into an act or statute," Arbabi said

So what the dead corporation woman calls law is the antithesis of law.

Her bio on her firm website makes it a point to state that

Naomi Arbabi is a lawyer in good standing with the Law Society of British Columbia

which has big "My 'I'm in good standing with the Law Society' shirt has lots of people asking questions that are answered by my shirt" energy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


A Vancouver woman is asking for the courts to make an example of her neighbour, a practising lawyer she alleges has filed a baseless pseudolegal lawsuit against her in an attempt to "provoke a state of fear."

Supreme Court master on Wednesday, asking for a notice of claim filed by real estate lawyer Naomi Arbabi to be struck as "scandalous, frivolous or vexatious."

Arbabi's notice of claim, filed on Oct. 5, accuses McLelland of "trespass" for installing a privacy divider on her rooftop deck in their Fairview condo building.

McLelland argued the lawsuit is a clear example of what Canadian courts have termed an organized pseudolegal commercial argument (OPCA) β€” a thoroughly debunked and wholly unsuccessful class of legal theory favoured by fringe groups like Sovereign Citizens and Freemen on the Land.

She went on to say that "a trespass occurs when a man or a woman knowingly does the wrong deed … not by accident, not by ignorance, but with intention and without authority and does not provide remedy or lawful excuse."

She told the court there was no deck divider when she purchased her condo, and its installation has ruined her home's "crown jewel" β€” its view of the North Shore mountains.


The original article contains 1,224 words, the summary contains 204 words. Saved 83%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Arbabi is about to find out that the dildo of consequences seldom arrives lubed.

The legal system is sick to the back teeth with the sovcit idiots.
