I'm shook if all of this is true, I just dont understand how the law drafted by Hoylman was even interpreted as non retroactive in the first place in this  case: isnt this a big deal and a big component of the law that should have been crystal clear before hand? To avoid stuff like this from happening?

Technically it is clear, but the judges ignored and misinterpreted a lot of things.

 

The first draft of the law included "prospectively only" language, meaning it was only supposed apply prospectively. This language was deleted from the final bill and Senator Hoylman explained that this happened with the explicit goal in mind to make the law retroactive. When the language of a law is ambiguous, courts look to the legislative history of the law to understand the legislative intent behind it which is then used to interpret the law. Here, this legislative history makes clear that the law was supposed to apply retroactively, but for some reason these judges ignored this and only focused on the (ambiguous) language of the law itself and then decided the ambiguity is insufficient to determine retroactivity.

 

The second paragraph of the amended law (§70-a) has in-built retroactivity language because it states that attorney's fees shall be recovered for lawsuits that have been "commenced or continued" after the amended statute took effect. The judges only looked at §76-a which forces plaintiffs to prove that a defamation defendant acted with actual malice. They decided that this paragraph is not retroactive and did not independently look at at §70-a and therefore ignored this language.

 

They also applied a wrong standard. Usually, remedial legislation (such as this law) is supposed to apply retroactively so that it can benefit as many people as possible. Here, the judges relied on a 2020 case from New York's highest court called Regina which strictly limited retroactivity in the context of rent control and interpreted in a way that retroactive application in general has been further limited. But Regina talks about non-remedial legislation, so it is misapplied here.

It would be great, but Britney doesn't show support for other women, she only demands it for herself.

Honey we're not bitter nor do we focus on Kesha one bit. We don't care about ha. It's nothing but good vibes. Why do you have such a peculiar obsession with holding on to this narrative? Truly disturbing. Your prying eyes looking at screenshots of a private server you're not apart of? Tell me you're a fan without telling me you're a fan ;)

Unfortunately both sides suffered pain and financial losses. This case needs to just end already, it's gone on too long.

ugh hopefully this raises awareness of this case with the public 

[Bubble Tea]

I really can't keep up with this case.  Who is actually succeeding? I've always figured Luke's entire plan is just to completely drain Kesha of every penny, which is clearly working given Kesha's constant peddling of wares and old clothes on eBay etc.
