This is an interesting AND absurd news piece in the D.C. area...
A local judge is suing his dry cleaner for $54 million dollars for losing a pair of pants (or so he says)... He says they didn't live up to their satisfaction guaranteed sign in their shop.
The poor Korean couple (who by now are really poor because of legal costs) has been raked through the coals by this silly suit..
The hearings ended today and the judge is expected to rule by the end of next week.
I think this is just an opportunist and sure hope that a common sense judge is presiding over the trial! If anything, he should get the depreciated value of the pants..
I hope he loses... Something incredibly wrong with this picture.. Especially in that the complainant is a judge/lawyer! oh yeah... he's representing himself and has all kinds of charges supposedly related to the pants issue..
This is unbelievable... Ya gotta read the story.. It's pretty laughable... Apparently alot of support has come to the Chungs (the drycleaners) because of the story and a defense fund was set up. Hopefully this will at least be an encouragement to them and offset their expenses that have piled up over 2 years..
