Diddy
Goes on the Offensive …
Ya Cannot Sue Me Below a Legislation That Did not Exist!!!
Revealed
Diddy and his attorneys need one of many sexual assault lawsuits tossed out of courtroom, but when they’re profitable it might change the sport in dozens of the opposite civil circumstances he is going through.
Here is the deal … Diddy’s zeroing-in on New York’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Safety Legislation (GMVA), as a result of that is the statute a Jane Doe used to sue him again in December for a sexual assault she claims occurred at a charity basketball sport in 1991 at Metropolis Faculty.
The date is what’s vital right here, a minimum of based on Diddy’s lawyer Mark Cuccaro. Within the docs, obtained by TMZ, he factors out the GMVA was handed on December 19, 2000. Again in 2022, New York made an modification that prolonged the statute of limitations for claims beneath the GMVA, from 7 to 9 years.
In actual fact, the prolonged window to make a declare simply ended on Feb. 28 — and because of this there was a flurry of recent lawsuits filed towards Diddy within the final 2 weeks.
Nevertheless, Diddy’s saying that extension would not permit victims to sue beneath the GMVA if the alleged incident occurred earlier than the unique regulation was handed in 2000. Translation … you’ll be able to’t sue beneath a regulation that did not exist while you declare you have been assaulted.
On that foundation, Diddy’s filed his movement to dismiss the 1991 Jane Doe case, which by the best way, was filed by Tony Buzbee — and, as , he represents dozens of different purchasers suing Diddy.
If a decide buys Diddy’s argument on the GMVA … it might impression each lawsuit filed towards him for alleged assaults occurring earlier than December 2000.
Buzbee would not appear fearful, he tells TMZ … “Of course [Diddy] is arguing that. But his team is dead wrong on the law. Instead, the case law is overwhelmingly on the side of the alleged victims on this legal point.”
