I had posted a blog last week about the costliest lawsuit I ever heard. A $54 Million dollar lawsuit against a dry cleaner for losing the pair of pants. If you haven't had a chance to catch the full story. Check it out at http://houstonvijai.sulekha.com/blog/post/2007/06/only-in-america-54million-for-pair-of-pants.htm
Today was the date set for the final judgment after 2 days trial. I just happen to see the update and thought of sharing it. Judge ruled in favor of the Dry cleaner owner and dropped the lawsuit for $54 Million. Obviously the Dry cleaner must have so much relieved. It just ended up against Pearson, an administrative judge. The Judge also asked Pearson to pay the court expenses to the Dry cleaner owners.
Chris Manning, the Chungs' attorney, argued that no reasonable person would interpret the signs to mean an unconditional promise of satisfaction.
I guess the ruling in favor of Dry Cleaner is correct one and it sure reiterates the fact that the Pair of Pants obviously not worth for $54 millions
It also shows that nothing can be taken for granted. It sure did taught a good lesson to that Admin Judge Pearson to better be considerate and think realistic.
What do you all say?!
