No, I already refuted that. The case was taking too long. The judge thought that Ball was an idiot and that no one in their right mind would believe him. And Ball claimed poor health. Throwing a case out of court and saying that the person being sued is an idiot is hardly winning.Promoters of Climate Change rely on character assassination and lengthy lawsuits funded by their wealthy backers.

Mann and his backers are using the same tactic with Mark Steyn’s court case.

For a start, although Mann always presents himself as the victim, it is important to remember that, in this case as in mine, he is the plaintiff: He chose to sue – and without that conscious choice there would be no legal action. So, when Mann says there was no “finding that Ball’s allegations were correct”, Ball did not allege anything: That is a legal term and the only allegations before the Court were Mann’s, in his statement of claim against Ball. Those Mann allegations have been dismissed with prejudice – so, in layman’s terms, Mann lost and Ball won.
If you want others to take you seriously try to find better sources.
By the way, Mann will not have to pay Ball's attorneys. Ball is responsible for that himself. Mann only has to pay the relatively minor "court costs".
