A lawyer representing the Ontario actor planning to sue Harvey Weinstein for sexual assault says the disgraced producer has eluded attempts to be served notice about the civil suit, but the case will move forward anyway. "In our submission, Mr. Weinstein knows this is happening," said Alex Smith, a lawyer with the Toronto firm Henein Hutchison LLP. There have also been reports that Weinstein is in Arizona or somewhere in Europe, Smith told the court. Both companies have been successfully served notice, and a lawyer for Miramax attended court on Monday. Weinstein's representative Sallie Hofmeister has said Weinstein denies all allegations of non-consensual sex.
