Judge loses pants and court case

 

A Washington, D.C. judge who filed a US$54 million lawsuit against his dry cleaners over a pair of missing pants "will not get a penny", says Ariel Sabar in The New York Times. Roy Pearson could not prove that Korean-owned Custom Cleaners was misleading customers with its "satisfaction guaranteed" sign, after one of his suits was returned without the pants in 2005 following a US$10.50 alteration job (they were found two days later, though Pearson argued unsuccessfully they had been replaced by a cheaper pair). Pearson will have to pay up to US$5.000 in court costs, and possibly up to US$100.000 in legal fees if Judge Judith Bartnoff, who delivered the verdict, deems the lawsuit "frivolous". Pearson rejected a US$12.000 settlement in March and continued to argue that U.S. consumer protection law entitled him to "thousands of dollars for each day over nearly four years in which signs at the shop promised 'same day service' and 'satisfaction guaranteed'". The verdict brings a "momentary pause" to a case that has "inspired international ridicule and calls for legal reform".

 

 

Esperemos que sim.
