Dear XX, No one by that name was involved in the litigation I initiated in 2002. Rather, after the Court ordered our litigants files to be assessed, other lawyers, who had refused to join or support me, filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of those who had been left behind. In that case, the judge barred CIC from refusing older files by applying the new selection criteria. Three months later, CIC gave in because the Minister had to report to Parliament the number of visas issued for the year, and CIC had not come anywhere close to meeting the target. So, he paid those who had stood on my shoulders $2.9 million to drop the case -- and they gladly grabbed the money -- and changed the rules. Those of us who launched the litigation did not charge our clients anything for having done so because they were our clients in the first place. The $20,000 was the amount the Court ordered CIC to pay me. The litigants had previously hired us and had paid us to process their files. Once their visas were approved, we would receive the balance of our fees we had charged. Thus, we had a financial and moral interest in our litigants. The circumstance in your case is not the same on either point. (As I understand, those involved in the class-action lawsuit charged those who participated but, because I was not involved and do not even know how many lawyers participated, I have no idea how much their litigants had to pay.) Because none of you is a client, none of you has paid me to date nor will I receive any payments once the litigation is over. My standard fee for skilled worker applicants is $3,000. Thus, the amount I would be receiving from you is half of what I would receive from a client for the whole process and exactly the amount which would be outstanding if you were a client. Therefore, I do not believe that the fee I am requesting is excessive. If the litigation results in getting you to Canada one month earlier than otherwise, your salary will more than cover the cost of the litigation. In addition, if we are able to secure damages, you will actually make a profit. Because it's your future, the choice is yours. I hope that you will join because I want Chinese involved in the case. As this litigation will be my full-time obligation until it has run its course, I need to know that I can pay my bills during that period. Therefore, I am not inclined to reduce the $550 amount for just eleven people. If there were fifty, keeping in mind that $52 goes to the Court, I would be willing to reduce the fee to $350 each. In addition, I am willing to reduce the $1,000 to $500 for those who are willing to increase my share of the damage award from one-third to 45%. Thus, if 50 of you join and you give up a greater portion of the damages award (which we may have to negotiate away), the cost would be $350 plus $500 each. Regards, Tim 2011/9/14 ninilson <[email protected]>Dear Sir:I'm XXX,a SAP applicant from China, I have written to you several days before and asked you some questions. Now how about the ligitation action process? Some applicants and me in China are very interested in the ligitation, we expect to start it as fast as possible. About cost, we also care about it. you say we should pay $550 when we start per person, then if we win the litigation ( when the CIC promise to assess our cases within a specified period) we wiil pay the rest $1000, Many applicants here think the cost a little expensive. they think the the aim of the ligitation is to win , if we lost the ligitation at last, the $550 is also lost. and not refund to us.So if the cost at first can be lower or the whole cost can be decreased, I think more allicants will be join the litigation. and you say in Dragan, I received only $20,000 from the Court, is it mean one person just pay you $200? Another thing we read an article here it said in 2003 a canadian lawyer named Deng Snyder (the name is just written chinese,the spelling is similar to ) help 1600 Chinese applicants to litigate with cic and win the case finally CIC is forced to chang the policy to enablethose who had not been assessed by 1 April 2003 would be assessed under the newer, We wonder do you know the lawyer? And did him litigate followed you or after your ligation in 2002? Regards, X XX ​
