If you put up a go fund me or any type of fundraiser please let me know and I will help out as much as I can. Another thing, I know of someone who took out loan money for an appeal, she won, but her back up plan was to file for bankruptcy if she lost.

Have you considered a second opinion from another lawyer? I don't know why the CAS wouldn't want to support you if you went to the media, they should be just as furious at the judgement in your case and, more importantly, people need to know what has happened!! I'm sure every single person on this forum will be second guessing it if they ever thought about having to make a report to CAS.
What about another lawyer, if they agree to take your case, and if you won, they would be paid from the settlement, and if you lose maybe you could find a lawyer who doesnt get paid if you don't win.

I wonder why the lawyer doesn't think your chances are good on appeal? Does the report look malicious to them?

I wonder if the media is a lost cause only because you brought the issue to a few media personal prior to the court case and no one was interested.

I don't know what I would do either. Personally, I never take no for an answer so my first choice would be to get a second opinion from another lawyer. Then I would probably go through the appeal process or if the other lawyer said my chances were slim, pay the money and move on (begrudgingly).

CAS doesn't want this to go to the media because it would make people hesitate before making a report.

Oh, and I would totally sue the paralegal or at the very least report them to the Law Society of Upper Canada.

This situation just sucks so bad, I just don't know what to say! I am so sorry you are having to deal with this!

The only advice I have to give, just a couple weeks ago, my family went to court. My father had passed years ago, and his neighbour was claiming his estate (LONG story!) anyways the jusdge said to us "the last place you will ever see justice is in civil court" we ended up settling (basically we paid a guy that took my father for every cent, to go away) You might be able to fundraise to collect some of the settlement, but if you appeal and lose, could you get out of that debt? I think I would go to the media, if nothing, it will bring attention to a flawed system!
