Rob Lowe Run Down
Now that you’ve caught up with all three lawsuits filed by Rob Lowe this week, you must be dying to know what happens next. Unfortunately, not much is likely to happen immediately, but here’s a quick run down of the general stages of litigation that may play out, depending on how far the cases proceed.
(1) Pleadings: The complaint is filed and served. The defendant generally has at least 30 days to respond either by denying the allegations or moving to dismiss the case.
(2) Discovery: This is where all parties exchange documents, take depositions, and learn as much information as they can about the other’s position. The discovery phase often represents at least 80% of any litigation.
(3) Trial: If the case is not settled or dismissed during the discovery stage, it goes to trial.
Believe it or not, a typical entertainment litigation from pleadings through trial can cost a party more than $300,000 in legal fees!
Rob Lowe and his family are victims. I’m glad the court will help him shut up disgruntled employees. If you know anything about Montecito, California you know how hard it’s been for a few of the better citizens. The bias against the Lowe’s is similar to what happened to their friends. We need to muzzle the press because all but one prints lies. When Rob’s troublesome neighbors messed with him he fought back and the liberal media unjustly made him out to be the bad guy. He is a wonderful father and husband.
