“Frankly, it looks like legal malpractice.”
ROFLMAO! & who’s gonna file this action, U? I don’t think so.
Maybe you missed the opening: “from my reading of the Show of Cause” which has since been shown to have resulted from a technical glitch, and, fortunately, an appropriate opposition was, in fact, filed timely, leading to the discharge of the Show of Cause.
However, had the facts been as set out in the Show of Cause (and that is exactly why a Show of Cause is issued), the lawyers would have royally screwed up. The judicial system has a way of correcting itself.
