Do you disagree that an insurance company could be filing this in Henderson's name and he may have had literally no say in what number the lawyer chose to put in?
People are literally posting here that Henderson's character can be judged by this piece of paper and all he might have had to do with it was he has submitted an insurance claim and collected some benefits from the policy.

I'm a Wideman defender fairly often, especially WRT whether he intentionally aimed himself at Henderson. That said, Norm Machida doesn't give bad legal advice and he's not known for being an unreasonable or aggressive litigator. If there's an insurer calling a shot, maybe that changes things. IMO the damages a Canadian judge would award will be a lot less, and something like this hardly ever even gets that far.
