While the Court found resoundingly in favor of the business owners, Jin and Soo Chung, their ordeal is not yet over—they have drained their saving accounts contesting this frivolous lawsuit, and they have racked up over $100,000 in legal expenses. In order to help the Chungs defray their legal bills, ILR and the American Tort Reform Association are co-hosting a fundraiser on Tuesday evening, July 24 at 6 p.m. at the US Chamber Building in Washington, DC. Unfortunately, businesses large and small across America must deal every day with similar extortionist tactics from some plaintiffs’ lawyers. The collective outcome is not justice, but lost jobs, ruined businesses and billions of dollars in lost economic opportunity.

This is obsurd and a waste of time. If Roy Pearson (he does not seserve the respect of Mister) is complaining about his alledged mental suffering, discomfort, and inconvenience over lost pants and then sues for $54 million, one would ponder if he mature enough to practice law and if he has any undiagnosed mental illnesses. Oh Roy, what a waste of energy! If Roy wants to complain about mental suffering, discomfort and inconvenience over this petty issue, perhaps he should visit a rape crisis center or Irag and find out what REAL mental suffering and discomfort is.

Seriously though, not only should he be booted from the bench, but he should be disbarred too.

This is abuse of power if ever there was an example. Clearly this judge is abusing his knowledge of the legal system to manipulate it for his own personal causes. There is no rational human in the universe that could possibly justify this action, and I hope that the dry cleaners file a counter-suit against the judge and turn the tables on him. I also hope that some other people with similar knowledge of the system decide to punish him by filing a bunch of frivolous lawsuits against him to show him what it's like. Oh, and I hope he rots in hell. John Everyone that has heard of this seems to be shocked, and with good reason. This is abuse of power if ever there was an example.

Why isn't there a equitable level like the costs for a new pair of pants?
