Forrest needs some better lawyers. The typos and even the content of filing relative to what is presented by the other side seems rather embarrassing. Erskine doesn't have much of a case, but that doesn't mean Forrest can't lose or get put in an uncomfortable position. This, exactly CRM. Scratching my head. Makes me question his assertion that he really did think of everything if this is the quality of a legal statement he'd present to the court... Hopefully time will tell, hopefully presenting everything in good light. |

Hopefully time will tell, hopefully presenting everything in good light. Have you seen (it was pointed out elsewhere) that deep in the court documents, forrest's lawyers are claiming the chest was abandoned property based on a line in the book? It was unclear why they would do that, except I guess it might establish "finder's keepers." Yet Erskine is claiming the poem is a contract. I'm not so sure it's not, as it was well established that all you needed was the poem, and as far as I know, some people never used the book. I used to laugh off the notion that the last Stanza is literally conveying title (it is also hints/clues, imo) or having any legal implications whatsoever, but if "the poem is all you need," I'm not so sure. How else is a judge supposed to treat it? Worse, it basically says "if you go there, I give it to you." it seems common sense you have to find it, but that's not what it says. Forrest needs some specialized trove/contest lawyers, and this group seems nothing of the sort. They need to stamp out the notion of "poem as contract," pronto, but they didn't even address it in the main filing. Jmho, not a lawyer. |
