Some
years have now passed since the essays below were first
published, and I will therefore make two comments here. The
first one is that no faults have been observed–everything is
correct. But even if that is so some things have happened
after the dates given in the text. About this nothing is
however written–it should only be said that we are
still waiting for the last word. The second comment is that some of the links, for
instance to sources, are
not working–their destination web pages may have been
changed or taken away.

The Judgment Reconsidered
Early in the year 2002
Hakan Lans and Uniboard AB filed a motion requiring that the
judgment of September 6, 2001, should be reconsidered. On
December 23, 2004, Judge John Garrett Penn ordered that the
case should be taken up anew. On March 24 of 2005 there
should be an evidentiary hearing in the United States
District Court for the District of Columbia, and this
hearing should be preceded by sworn depositions of both Hakan Lans and his former attorney Louis Mastriani.
After the evidentiary hearing post-hearing briefs could be
filed until April 29. Now all of these steps are taken. On
June 23 this year, 2005, the new judgment was pronounced.
Here is a comment to the new judgment entitled:
The New
Judgment Against Hakan Lans - A Further Step in a Planned
Judicial Crime!

The Judgment of the Court of Appeals
The Judgment of June 23, 2005, has been appealed against by
Hakan Lans at
the United
States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Here is the
document (pdf-file, 5.2 MB). The proceedings in the
Court of Appeals took place on October 6, 2006. After less
than a week the court pronounced its judgment: the former
judgment, the one from 2005, remained in its entirety
unchanged. The court did not explain its decision in any way.
Here is the
judgment.
Hakan Lans's attorney,
Christopher R. Wall at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman
LLP, has given the Swedish paper
Ny Teknik an interview in which he says, among other
things:
"I am shocked" ... "It seems as if
the court had made up its mind already before the hearing".
