Evil you are my boy and all but you cant be serious. I guess you never heard about this case:
Thanks Kai. You know you my boy too. Why you ain't goin' to the home-opener get together?
Of course, I heard about that pants case. That was ridiculous. I wouldn't consider that case the norm however.
PS: Killa, back on the topic of that pants case -- now that I read the article, it appears that the case was more about the ridiculously excessive demands for relief than it was about the lawsuit being frivolous. I mean, if you lost a $1000 suit at the dry-cleaners you'd want to be compensated. The problem was that the plaintiff in the case thought he was slick and tried to use the system to bring in $54M -- when he, like MSG, should have just settled. I mean, the were ready to offer him $12K just to drop it. In the end, the guy is probably gonna wind up being liable for the defendant's legal expenses -- meaning, the dude who brought this suit is gonna be $100,000 poorer for it. The winners in all of this -- THE LAWYERS... HAHA!!
So, yes your point is taken -- the legal system in this country can be taken advantage of by slimy plaintiffs, slimy lawyers, slimy defendants, etc. However, again -- we can't use one extremely ridiculous example to dismiss Anucha's claim. Now, I'm really interested in her case -- I might have to dig up the briefs and read some case law and get back to you guys with my opinion of the merits.
