They must of been one hell of a pair of pants.
Published by Kyso Kisaen July 13th, 2007 in FUCKING IDIOTS, Looks like someone needs an interventionWhen I first heard about the $54 million dollar lost-pants lawsuit, I (like everyone else) thought ‘damn, that guy has some serious problems.’
And it turns out, I was right! How about that? After losing the suit and being held up for general scorn, the man just can’t stop himself from going back for more:
A customer who sued a dry cleaner for $54 million over a missing pair of pants has asked the judge who threw out the widely mocked case to reconsider, saying she committed a “fundamental legal error.”
…The motion comes less than a week after the South Korean immigrant owners of Custom Cleaners asked the judge to order Pearson to cover $83,000 in legal fees.
“(The) Plaintiff’s motives have been clear — quite simply, to harass Defendants and to attempt to utterly destroy their lives,” attorney Christopher Manning wrote.
Those poor laundry owners. After two years and the threat of a multi-million dollar judgement hanging over their heads, it no longer matters if they were trying to screw the guy out of his pants or not. They’re dealing with a crazy person, and have well learned their lesson about guaranteeing satisfaction. If this sees the inside of a courtroom again, can the judge demand that Pearson see a doctor, maybe get a prescription to calm him the fuck down a bit?
When I heard about it, I wondered if he was trying to prove some point about the legal system. Not that would have meant he didn’t have serious problems, wielding that lawsuit to do it.
This is why I prefer the Canadian method to court costs; in Canada, the loser almost always pays most of the court costs of the winner.
I read that he’s likely to have to do that, and it might bankrupt him.
Which reminds me, I’ve got a recipe for shadenfreude pie that I was going to try out.
