Charles Rusnell @charlesrusnell.bsky.social · 3h I'm watching the injunction hearing for Nate Pike and The Breakdown. Interesting development. Pike's lawyers have indicated they will ask judge to move up time for disclosure in the alleged SLAPP lawsuit. That means they're forcing Sam Mraiche to move forward and essentially show his evidence.
Charles Rusnell @charlesrusnell.bsky.social · 2h Judge says it doesn't appear the high bar for an injunction - that Breakdown/Pike has no defence to the various alleged defamatory statements - is being met. PIke's lawyers say Pike has defence of fair comment in public interest. Mraiche's lawyer says Pike showed malice.
