Author Topic: Dry Cleaner Wins in Missing-Pants Case (Read 462 times)

Shuckins · « **on:** June 27, 2007, 06:53:15 AM »

A Disctrict of Columbia Superior Court judge has ruled that the Korean immigrant owners of Custom Cleaners did not violate the city's Consumer Protection Act by failing to live up to the plaintiff's expectations of their "Satisfaction Guaranteed" sign that had once been displayed in their store window.

The plaintiff, Roy L. Pearson, Jr., an administrative law judge, had originally sought $67 million from the defendants after they lost a pair of suit trousers and tried to return a pair that were not his.

Thank God.

Finally at least one court in the land that makes a decision that makes sense.

It should never have come this far

And the icing on the cake

"Bartnoff ordered Pearson to pay the court costs of defendants Soo Chung, Jin Nam Chung and Ki Y. Chung"

Thats gotta cost a pretty penny too

A great example of a lawyer he set there. AFAIC he should be disbarred from further practice as he obviously has no sense, no simple decency and is obviously willing to prostitute the court system for his own simple greed.

Now look, if that's a JUDGE bringing up such a stupid case, just imagine with other absurd cases are on the schedule.

Support tort reform.

WHile you're at it, urge your senator/congressman to eliminate earmarks too.
