Litigation in Slices

The structure of oppression in a strata corporation is similar to domestic abuse, as are the deference issues.

 

"Litigation in slices" is a term that is usually applied to criticize a party who deliberately splits up a cause of action to make the court process more lengthy and expensive. 

In this strata, it is actually the practice of overloading a victim with serial infractions that would require a series of proceedings to enforce the SPA within limitation dates, section by section, trial after trial, slice by slice, year after exhausting year, the equivalent of death from a thousand cuts.

Stratas commonly engage in a series of multiple, successive related violations of the SPA in full knowledge that they cannot be resolved by self-represented litigants because courts experience it as vexatious and relieve themselves of the burden by deferrig to stratas and dismissing successive proceedings as an abuse of process. 

Strata lawyers love it and do everything they can to induce it because of the legal fees that those who can afford to will pay, sometimes until it bankrupts them.

16. Write increasingly assertive letters, broadcasts, and prayers for relief, in ongoing attempt to defend against continually escalating oppression and injury that grows with each violation, payment of strata fees and property taxes, and new day of nuisance and loss that mounts exponentially as land values outpaces building value by 2 to 1, 3 to 1, 5 to 1, and beyond.*

19. Hire casual worker from Craigslist to help with documentation*

29. Last resort, sell Unit 409 to escape oppression or cover cost awards if court defers to council above the law 

REPEAT the exhausting steps to litigate each SPA violation, piece of piece, endlessly.

WHAT'S NOT REASONABLE OR APPROPRIATE ABOUT THAT?

If by some miracle I became smart, rich, healthy, and obsessed enough I would keep up the effort required for litigation, fund raising, evidence management, proceedings and trials, as each damaging cause of action in New Westminster Action S165066 came into existence, as well as each one beyond, year after year…while stratas are repeatedly allowed to get away with unlawful acts without effective penalty for loss of peace, order, and good government, or compensation for continually increasing harm to innocent victims.

In reality, there is no such miracle, leaving corruption to flourish accordingly.
