[Cathy Fraser, Scientology arbitrator]
For years we’ve been telling you about Scientology’s cynical strategy for derailing the lawsuits filed by former members: Force them into the church’s own brand of internal “religious arbitration.”
In several cases, we’ve documented how Scientology convinces courts that its former members are obliged to take their cases these proceedings, which in no way resemble actual legal proceedings.
Repeatedly, judges have fended off complaints that Scientology arbitration is completely one-sided and unfair, and designed to frustrate former members and their pursuit of justice.
Now, a huge amount of new information has come out about the latest example of this, as Australian residents Valeska Paris and Gawain and Laura Baxter walked out after 15 days of unfair arbitration run by Sea Org official Cathy Fraser in Clearwater, and now seek relief from a Tampa federal court.
And they have something new that really seems impressive. For an opinion about what they’ve been put through, they sought the expertise of perhaps the country’s foremost expert on what “arbitration” is supposed to be, a South Carolina law professor named Dennis Nolan.
We think you’re going to find his sworn declaration to be pretty impressive, and perhaps the most brutal denunciation of Scientology’s brand of justice ever. Will this, finally, be what convinces a judge to do something?
