The $54 million pants suit unravels again
A court Thursday rejected an appeal filed by a former administrative law judge who sued a dry cleaners for $54 million over a missing pair of pants.

The District of Columbia Court of Appeals "ruled resoundingly in favor of the Chung family and denied Mr. Roy Pearson’s appeal of the case completely," said Christopher Manning, an attorney for the Chung family, who own Custom Cleaners.
"The D.C. Court of Appeals held that the trial court correctly ruled that Mr. Pearson’s claims had no merit whatsoever," he added.

How Hard Is It To Believe That Judge Pearson (Pants Lawsuit) May Be Making A Calculated PR Statement?

The real point in this dialog should not be that Pearson is a pant-hugging maniac, but that previous to court, lawsuits should have a common-sense review process.

Pearson surely knew that the Chungs (the owners of the cleaners who supposedly lost Pearson's pants), would end up getting millions from the media, from good-hearted-people sending them money and from the forthcoming book rights. (It's a rags-to-riches story that made headlines.) The Chung's Custom Cleaners will be the most popular cleaners in Washington. And then, counter lawsuits have just begun.

As fun as it is to scapegoat him, Pearson isn't the whole problem, he's just one example. Whether it was intentional or not, he's successfully focused our attention on frivolous lawsuits. Although I would love to hate him too, I applaud the new dialog he started.
