A lawyer was supposed to send a contract that I signed to the other party’s lawyer. I couldn’t get hold of him for 3-4 days, and finally when I did I asked about the status. His reply was totally lawyerly: I do not have it back, whichIt’s technically true if he hasn’t even sent it to them yet. Since I was sure he hasn’t even sent it yet I asked him whether he did, and after 10 minutes, which I’m sure he used to email those, this lazy bum replied “yes”.
Earlier in the day his assistant told me she “cannot confirm or deny”, whether they have the contract. Whatever the fuck that’s supposed to mean.
