Fishman & Geertz

edit

Is it true that Tim Bowles was the lead attorney during Church of Scientology v Fishman & Geertz ? -- Antaeus Feldspar 04:19, 28 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Don't know, but I notice the lawyers.com site lists Christofferson v. Church of Scientology of Portland, et al., 57 Or.App. 203, 644 P.2d 577 (1981) as one of Tim Bowles' own cases. (I wanted to verify which round of Christofferson v. Church of Scientology it was before adding to the article. It was certainly a notable case, and not part of Moxon & Kobrin) AndroidCat 05:01, 28 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

American Lawyer, "The Two Faces of Scientology"

edit

Tim Bowles appears to be identified in a 1992 American Lawyer article, "The Two Faces of Scientology", as one of the lead lawyer's for the attempt to open up Narconon's Chilocco center. I can't seem to get hold of the actual article, however. -- Antaeus Feldspar 04:59, 28 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

mailed. --Tilman 16:39, 28 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

attempt to shudder into silence

edit

1992, Tim Bowles attempted to prevent a newspaper from reporting about the Corydon book. The newspaper reported anyway, and printed his letter too: [3] [4]. If needed, I do also have the article with the full letter. --Tilman 16:34, 28 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

I've now added it. I see it was already in the article about the book, which I've slightly changed. --Tilman 06:37, 30 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
Was the letter and Bowles' actions only pertinent to the Corydon book, or others as well? Smee 06:38, 30 April 2007 (UTC).Reply
No, only the Corydon book:

So Bowles intention was clearly to smash freedom of the press. His theme seems to harp on "Anything you say about us will harm us" I wonder what Bowles thinks the intentions of the St. Pete Times are? He makes the intentions of the CofS quite clear, to harass with lawsuits and threatening letters. Real nice institution that is.--Fahrenheit451 16:31, 2 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

That letter is amazing.--Gloriamarie 20:05, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Not CEO of MRB Group

edit

This Tim Bowles is not to be confused with Tim Bowles, former chief executive of MRB Group, the London-based parent of Simmons Market Research Bureau. --Bejnar (talk) 23:21, 26 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

He personally states he worked as general legal counsel for Church of Scientology International for eight years, but doesn't specific the exact years. Does anyone have a source for the exact period of time he worked for CSI? Laval (talk) 14:04, 14 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
