Source This makes me so mad! Shit like this should be tossed without ANY consideration whatsoever! This fucking asshole should not only have his fucking bullshit lawsuit tossed out of court, he should have to reimburse the dry cleaners for the cost of this lawsuit from the beginning! He should also have his ass tossed off the bench and be disbarred!
I agree wholeheartedly. I mean I could understand suing for 64.5 million, but 65 is just totally fucking greedy.
What a fucking shitbag. If there's any justice to be had in this case, it'll find this judge strangled with his pants in an alley somewhere.
If this was in England and I was acting for the Chungs I'd make an application to the court to have the claim struck out and it'd be gone before a defence was even filed. Unmeritorious nonsense.
You're far too generous. I see attempted fraud, attempted blackmail, obstruction of justice, criminal contempt of court, and probably other criminal charges that should be brought against this alleged judge.
People all over the world are slaughtered, waste away, or succumb to crippling illnesses every day. But at least they're wearing pants This poor sap has the worse problem the world has ever seen
Gaaaaah, I'm still mad about this: Fucking self-righteous asshole appoints himself as a representative for "all customers affected" by the dry cleaners! How did this cum stain get on the bench in the first place?!? A little more research into him reveals that he may have a history of being a scum-sucking parasite on the legal system! And then I've found more on how the dry cleaners have been affected:
If only I'd realised my opportunity when Sketchley's ruined a skirt of mine! Bloody idiot to accept the cost of a replacement skirt...
Btu why the fuck has nobody made an application, after two years, to get it struck out. I mean for fuck's sake why where they even advised to offer a $12,000 settlement????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Makes a mockery out of the phrase "without prejudice".
While a proper hanging normally involves breaking the neck, it's doubtful that the pants are long enough for a hanging by pants to cause death other than by strangulation. Unless, of course, you help the pants out by attaching them to a rope. But why do that here? Death by strangulation is more drawn out and painful, and therefore entirely appropriate in this case.
Who said anything about a proper hanging? Somehow, I don't think in the case of HD&Q, the purpose of the hanging was to break the neck. So yeah it's strangulation. but that can happen without being hung, and "strangled, drawn, and quartered" doesn't have the same ring.
Well, I do believe I've already told you my opinion of the American legal system. Yeah, in a real court the judge should sua sponte rule that damages are limited to the value of the suit, and in a real court the case should be dismissed with prejudice and attorney fees to defendant when the plaintiff turns down a $12,000 settlement, but we're not talking about a real court; we're talking about a local American civil court.
I think that if (when ) the judge loses his case, he be ordered to pay 10% of the damages he was demanding of the dry cleaners! And that become the standard for frivolous lawsuits...
Not to mention someone gets the physical and job satisfaction that comes of making a just effort that results in a job well done.
Anyone else follow the debate about when it's okay for someone to represent a "class" for a class action? There's some reform effort regarding, e.g., class actions being filed against companies every time the stock price drops suddenly and substantially. But I'm pretty sure that would affect only federal securities claims. The tort lawyers' associations are worried that people will take notice of this extreme example (legislation based on the anecdotal or extreme is a common trigger for bad laws), and tort reform would screw up their tort racket: file claims on behalf of classes, list as many bases for damages as possible, and use extreme amounts for things like "pain and suffering". Complaints that claim bizarre and extreme examples of consquential damages are filed probably by the tens of thousands every day in the US. This guy Pearson's damage claim is a more offensive list since he's a judge, but lawyers file this shit in court every day in every county in every state. Frivolous lawsuits already incur penalties for the malfeasor attorney in federal courts. Maybe some states or counties have procedures that penalize local bullshit claims, but not enough. By far, not enough. The "English rule" makes the losing side pay the winning side's legal fees, but we use (sadly) the "American rule," which means our courts do not sufficiently discourage empty or uneconomical claims. The tort associations - almost universally - are part of the problem, but they don't like it when the egregious case like this one jeopardizes their money train. As you might guess, I doubt their purported motivation is legit.
The judge that is letting this case drag out should also be disbarred. I also really like Xerafin's 10% idea about frivolous law suits. Unfortuneately we've allowed shitbag lawyers to twist the legal system into it's current state of being a financial system that allows lawyers to make each other money through one frivolous lawsuit after another.
This is probably the best poster child for tort reform that's come down the pike in a long time. It's an abomination. It's a travesty. These folks from what I've gathered thusfar are just hard working Koreans who managed to do fairly well in a business, the persuit of the American dream. This doesn't bode well for Black/Korean relations IMHO! If there is a shread of justice, this man will be disbarred. He should bring in John Edwards to represent him.
