Consumer Law

Update: Consumer Protection Law Vindicated

By Robert Duff, Esq.

Justice prevails!

You may recall that I wrote recently about Judge Roy L. Pearson - the guy who was suing a dry cleaner's for losing his pants for a couple days and was asking for 67 million dollars. Well, he lost. "Judge Bartnoff has spoken loudly in suggesting that, while consumers should be protected, abusive lawsuits like this will not be tolerated," said the lawyer for the owners of the dry cleaners.

Will this repair all the damage done by Mr. Pearson in terms of the public's confidence in our legal system? I doubt it. But it definitely makes me feel better, knowing that I can explain to people that the system, in the end, worked.
