Judge denies Scientology's motion for $160,000 in sanctions against Valerie Haney - 2021-01-15
Judge denies Scientology's motion for $160,000 in sanctions against Valerie Haney January 15, 2021,
We're still scratching our heads thinking about his January 2020 ruling that derailed Valerie Haney's lawsuit and directed her to submit her claims to Scientology's "religious arbitration," but Judge Richard Burdge Jr at least didn't add insult to injury by granting Scientology's request for sanctions.
In a hearing at Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday, Judge Burdge denied Scientology's motion for sanctions, and his reasoning was clear and concise.
So why, we wonder, couldn't he see how unfair it was to send Valerie back to her abuser with his ruling granting religious arbitration?
