Dash 42, your argument condenses down to: "where there is smoke there is fire". I have no knowledge of Barrier or its transgressions,
What I object to is the apparent abuse of process designed to destroy a business without ever letting them have their day in court if at all possible.
To put that another way what would you think if you saw a gang of police lynching a driver by the side of the road after alleging he was a "speeder"?
Judge, Jury, and executioner, it has to stop.
