All correct.

Brinks has a default judgement against Jim.  No actual monetary amount
has been awarded though.  I think the Judge wants Jim in the courtroom
to hear both sides (the judgement won't be overturned except on appeal).
  I figure if Jim plays his cards right, Brinks will be awarded some
extra-ordinarily generous sum like $1.00 (89 cents CDN).  He does have
the right to present his side of the case and still show the court that
Brinks actions have been frivolous and malicious (and in this he has the
opportunity to present a lot of expert testimony).  Unfortunately his
battle is now all "uphill" because of what he's submitted to the court
in the way of "responses" to Brink's allegations, motions, and the
contempt citation.

Read through the documents Jim has posted on his website.  It's not a
"complete record", but I understand Jim's working on putting more up.
