The $67 Million Pants (http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/Story?id=3119381&page=1).

That's just for half a law suit. Imagine what the sum would be for the jacket, too. :p

[Yahoshua]

Read about this yesterday afternoon, this is just absolutely ridiculous. The man should be disbarred from any and all capacity in the legal arena.

[baggygreen]

Stripped of his license, so to speak. :D

It's his mentality that's got us into this "PC gone mad" world. And what about the people who represent (and therfore encourage) these people?

Because of them we can't ride on the backs of dustcarts,first aiders can be sued for helping people, a burglar can sue me if he injures himself whilst breaking in to my house.

Pity we can't sue these people for the mess they've made of this world.

Reminds me of the old Scottish joke:

A. Your girlfriend's lipstick.

Another old joke:

Students who get A's in Law School become Law Professors

Students who get B's ih Law School become Corporate Lawyers

Students who get C's in Law School become Defense Lawyers or DA's.

Students who get D's in Law School become Judges. :)

Just saw this on the news a few minutes ago. WOW and there are kids that don't have decent clothes to wear or food to eat.:cry:

I saw him walk with a smileing and smug look on his face.


I'D LIKE TO WALK UP AND KICK HIM IN THE SEAT OF HIS RICH PANTS :arrgh!:

[GSpector]

Wow, He's a Judge?

I hope the Judge that sits on this case in June demands that the Cleaners hand over the pants and denies the charges against them and ends that part of the lawsuit. I do hope Jin and Soo Chung and their son are counter suing and the judge triples the amount and awards punitive damages for emotional distress and starts process to disbar Mr Pearson.

[Heibges]

My family was in drycleaning.

Drycleaners get sued...a lot.

Usually not for millions, though.

[FIREWALL]

Talk about wanting headlines. :down:

[Heibges]

Dude is lucky he's not on Judge Judy.

She would yell at him, "No, no, no, no, no, no...this is OUTRAGEOUS, Sir!

[GSpector]

True but Judge Joe Brown would nail him with punitive damages and find several cases against Judge (:nope:) Pearson and judge accordingly :rotfl:

[FIREWALL]

We had a court show awhile back with Kato Kaitlen and Justice got Served :D :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I'l sue you for laughing at Sailor Steve! :p

[baggygreen]

I personally find the best touch the filing for court costs. for representing himself.:damn:

[Etienne]

Anybody miss the Summum of all court shows, Texas Justice?

Any judge who rides a horse is OK by me.

Any court clerk who can stare down a hysteric mother into submission is OK by me.

I wish these were the guys hearing the case. Then it'd be processed with the proper level of humor.

Update:

http://www.welt.de/vermischtes/article1198661/54_Millionen_Dollar_Schadensersatz_fuer_Hose_.html

Not funny anymore, but turning into a serious existential tragedy.

This sick bastard carries on. The Chungs have lost already 100.000 dollars, their attorney says, and already had to sell two of their former three shops, the case runs for over 2 years and their nerves are in ruins. It seems this bastard-judge will not give up before he has successfully destroyed the rest of their existential basis - and then drive them into prison for the rest of their lives, or what? Why is it impossible to stop this crime going on, and stop it on the grounds of "Sittenwidrigkeit" (immorality)? In Germany it is a solid principle of jurisdiction and would prevent this sicko to successfully continue with his case. and sueing the Chungs for initially 67 million for a lost trouser would have been impossible from the beginning anyway.

Has anyone ever checked if this "judge" maybe is a racist and hates Koreans for being Korean?

Nebraska State Senator Sues God

By NATE JENKINS – 1 day ago
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The defendant in a state senator's lawsuit is accused of causing untold death and horror and threatening to cause more still. He can be sued in Douglas County, the legislator claims, because He's everywhere.
State Sen. Ernie Chambers sued God last week. Angered by another lawsuit he considers frivolous, Chambers says he's trying to make the point that anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody.
Chambers says in his lawsuit that God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents, inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants."
The Omaha senator, who skips morning prayers during the legislative session and often criticizes Christians, also says God has caused "fearsome floods ... horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes."
He's seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty.
Chambers said the lawsuit was triggered by a federal suit filed against a judge who recently barred words such as "rape" and "victim" from a sexual assault trial.
The accuser in the criminal case, Tory Bowen, sued Lancaster District Judge Jeffre Cheuvront, claiming that he violated her free speech rights.
Chambers said Bowen's lawsuit is inappropriate because the Nebraska Supreme Court has already considered the case and federal courts follow the decisions of state supreme courts on state matters.
"This lawsuit having been filed and being of such questionable merit creates a circumstance where my lawsuit is appropriately filed," Chambers said. "People might call it frivolous but if they read it they'll see there are very serious issues I have raised."
U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf, in an order last week, expressed doubts about whether Bowen's lawsuit "has any legal basis whatsoever" and said sanctions may be imposed against Bowen and her attorneys if they fail to show cause for the lawsuit.
The Associated Press usually does not identify accusers in sex-assault cases, but Bowen has allowed her name to be used publicly because of the issue over the judge's language restrictions.
Cheuvront declared a mistrial in the sexual assault trial in July, saying pretrial publicity made it impossible to gather enough impartial jurors.

Anyone want to have a stab at witnesses for the defence? And jury selection?

[peterloo]

This is soooooooo sarcastic to the so called "fair judical system" famed by the USA

Clearly, the quantity demanded to redeem for such a trousers is ridiculous, and everyone with sense cn feel it

I just hope that the "judge" is banned from being a judge anymore, and got himself broke after the court ruled his attempt to gain a huge rip off unsuccessful, and have to pay a huge indemnity to compensate for his greediness.

[SUBMAN1]

I hope this guys case fails and that he has to pay back all the lawyer fees to the defendants. This is pure evil in my book. Makes me sad for the state of things and the outlook for the future.

I mean - the guy offered him $12K for a $150 pants that the guy claims were worth $800!!! And this guy is a judge too! Pathetic.

-S

[bookworm_020]

I herd that the drycleaners have now sold their shop. I hope they find in the cleaners favours and dismiss the apeal the judge has lodged:yep:

[bookworm_020]

UPDATE: The judge has lost his job!

http://www.smh.com.au/news/unusual-tales/60m-tanty-pants-judge-loses-job/2007/11/14/1194766725210.html

Now he just has to loose his shirt!:rotfl:

[Reaves]

Justice.


I certainly wouldn't want a person who thinks it's right to sue a drycleaner for millions of dollars to hand out sentences for a living.

[Skybird]

Justice? Only if the drycleaners get compensation for the money they have lost and the shops they had to close. And if the "judge" is held accountable for it with his very own private property.

I would execute a most brutal example on him - for the sake of correcting a legal system in certain parts that makes acts like his possible, and to intimidate all "judges" that feel tempted to follow his sick example.

[SteminDemon13]

I'm Suing all of you for posting on this thread for 1 million dollars. And I am suing the original poster for 80 million due to the stress and anger this news posting has caused me to feel.:lol:

On a serious note though. I don't wish bad on anyone, but good for that )($*^)* B*sta$d for suing that poor family. They even offered the guy $12,000! I hope they sue his @$$ for legal fees and all the rest.

I'm pretty sured he'd have to pay for all the legal fees involved so it shouldn't be the end for the dry cleaners. Losing the shop is bad yes but it could have been worse.

Next time they might be a little more careful and not lose a customers clothing..... :roll:

[Skybird]

[quote=Skybird]

Plural, please. They closed two shops longer time back, and lately had to shut down their remaining last one. Check this threat completely, it was described somewhere. They also had lost over 100.000 $US, and that was until back then. Not too mention years of conflict, despair and probably existential fear. Worse? Well, nobody held a weapon at their heads, in so far you are right.

Was that cheap shot needed? I am absolutely certain that it cannot be avoided not to have the occasional mishaps and accidents happening in such an enterprise. Are you always perfect and flawless in all what you are doing?
