Mr. Tang,
First and foremost, as I have told you repeatedly, please do not contact any of the lawyers for the other parties directly. It is inappropriate and they will not respond to you. Adam has asked that I remind you not to correspond to him.
I want to address the points you raise in your email:
Gowling's accounts have been passed, so a court has approved their fees and disbursement. If the investors have an issue with the accounts, that is a matter for them. You already challenged their accounts.
You have to appreciate that much of the monies tGowling has used from the account was used to defend themselves from litigation you brought against them. This is perfectly reasonable, as they are entitled to reasonable costs incurred as a result of defending themselves in their position as Representative Counsel. You can't really argue that they wasted your money on litigation when you were responsible for the litigation in which your claims against them were found to be meritless.
The investors should have known that Gowling represents them. They could have easily found this out from the OSC if they wanted to know. There is nothing that requires Gowling to have retainer letters from the investors, as Gowling was appointed by the Court.
Gowling does have dockets and those dockets do show what work they have done. Gowling has not illegally seized your money, as the Court has approved their accounts and has permitted them to take the money to pay their accounts. I assure you that reporting Gowling to the Law Society of Upper Canada will be a waste of time, as your complaint will be denied.
Please understand that, while I am trying to represent your legal interests as best I can, I still owe you a duty to "tell it like it is" and not to give you false hope or unrealistic expectations. |
