There will be a Mareva hearing tomorrow at 10 am in the potential class-action lawsuit over Ottawa protest (Li et. al v. Barber et. al.) regarding the temporary injunction freezing defendants’ crypto and other assets. (I’m off tomorrow but will live tweet cause I’m a dork.)
A temporary Mareva injunction was granted on a ex parte application. So this will test if it holds up. This is part of litigation led by Ottawa lawyer Paul Champ but the Mareva injunction is being handled by commercial litigation firm Lenczner Slaight.
Why this matters: the names plaintiffs represent a potential class that includes Ottawa residents, businesses and employees. They seek $300+ million from protest organizers, truckers and defendant classes. Freezing the cash is key so there's something to pursue in court.
I can't promise this will be as dramatic as the bail hearings, but it is important. If the injunction holds up, (and *if* the class is certified and *if* the claim is successful), donations given the Freedom Convoy would flow instead to Ottawa residents and businesses/employees.
