Waivers are about as good the paper they are signed on!!!

Billy Boy:cool:


FYI, there was a recent court decision that upheld the waiver signed by the plaintiff. Zipline Company Cleared over Waiver — Slaw

"The action of the Plaintiffs was dismissed under a summary trial application under B.C. Rule 9-7 because the release was valid and enforceable and provided a complete defence."

Although, I would still agree with your statement, just thought that some might find this helpful.

We deal with this crap in the ski business every year. The case above now sets a new president for waivers. I do know the ski industry is smiling about the decision.

I think(hope) the judges are getting sick of the b/s.

I can't believe somone would actually have the nerve to try something like this. I can't believe someone actually agreed to represent him in court.

i just think its funny. say the BIS wasnt happening that weekend. and the same stuff happened. none of this stuff would even be happening..

as far as going after anyone.. its a joke.. this guy is a LOSER!!

if he has sledded before he knows all the risks involved and well like said somehwere here before.. wrong place at the wrong time..

for fawk sakes you can walk acrossed the street and get hit buy a car.. list goes on.i wanna just find this MORON and have some close words with him.

frustrates me to no end. no one is at fault but the person himself.

and thus you can sue the clown driving, what is your point. the point is the guy is looking for cash, and a lawyer has told him he can get him some.

And that's a whole other problem we could talk till next Monday about. The only thing lower on the food chain than this azz clown may be the lawyer that represents him. :nono:

This case was likely created by a lawyer who canvessed numerous people who had thier names in the news trying to stir up and troll enough interest in putting a complaint together.

Taken from a media report last year...

Quote:

When Sharlotte Skowronek picked up the phone, she braced for more bad news. Was it the hospital calling to tell her that her husband, Joey, had died from injuries suffered in the avalanche? It wasn’t. It was an investigator from the major crime division of the Kelowna RCMP. He asked Ms. Skowronek how her husband was doing. But he mostly wanted to talk about something else: child endangerment.
“What I picked up from the conversation was they are considering charging parents who took their kids to the event with endangering their child,” Ms. Skowronek said this week.

“He wanted to know how I would feel about child endangerment charges if my husband survives.” And she said they wanted to let her know that the co-ordinators of the snowmobile event may face charges of criminal negligence causing bodily harm.

"The inspector also said police would want to interview the couple’s seven-year-old son, Joey Jr., who was on Boulder Mountain with his dad when the avalanche struck. Police have not yet determined how many children were among the estimated 200 people who came to Revelstoke last Saturday to watch snowmobiling daredevils traverse high up the mountain as part of a loosely structured event called the Big Iron Shootout."



Now this family wishes to come out on top of thier own possible lawsuit.

This Mazzei character is looking to cash in on the loss of another families loved ones. That is enough to disgust me. :nono:

I could go on, and I believe everyone has behaved for the most part in their replies, but it goes to show you can't fixed stupid.

With that last one here comes the moderator. Come on folks no need to loose the cool and go all racist come on don't forget you represent the sport so do your part be bigger than all that other chit. This is just an individual who has made some bad choices and he's looking for others to pay for his mistake.:d Here have a beer and relax:beer: Ahh screw it have a bunch of beers:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:d

As far as I understand it the avalanche had nothing to do with the BIS event that happened earlier in the day. How can this knob expect to win a non case?
I hope it costs him multiple thousands of dollars in the end.

I feel for the family of the people that passed. Just when they can get there lives back together this comes about.
And for the clubs and volunteers that make Revelstoke the place it is for sledding, they thought this all behind them.

this site should have details on the judgement if it gets that far
The Courts of British Columbia - Site Search

not his first time at bat:


check out the traffic/criminal


This guy must live in the court houses...

a rolling cluster fawk....hopefully he does not get a dime in a settlement...this would still be a win for him. I'm also hoping his lawyer is charging by the hour (not a % of settlement) so it's an expensive loss.

I'd chip in to help defend if it will make it an expensive loss for him and his lawyer.

This is very sad if this is the way our country is going, I hope this gets punted out of court. Every single person on that mountain was responsible for they're own decisions and actions. It is up to each individual on the mountain to check and adhere to the warnings on avalanche.ca. I cant believe someone could sleep at night knowing they are have filed a lawsuit against the estates of the deceased sledders from the avalanche.

Amen!

I hope this guy is black balled everywhere he goes. I can't believe this is possable. LOOSER.

Perhaps i should sue the music industry for Lady Gaga or the liqure companies for lost memories and liver damage.

I know the feeling Randy, I have a whole lot to say, but I`m not allowed to. :mad:

Any person or persons that stop or park in an avalanch chute, run out or terrain trap and are injured, buried or killed have no one to blame but themself. Just because someone else is parked there does not make it a safe place to be. if they lived they should look in the mirror, point their finger and call themselves lucky.
this will not go far in our courts I hope.
