He rejected a $12,000 settlement.... For a pair of pants

3 million dollars of emotional damage for the loss of his pants.
Claimed it cost him $90,000 to drive to another dry cleaner.

Then spent over a thousand hours in suing them with excessive harrasment and intentionally exasperated discovery to bully them for years. Made them spend over $100,000 in legal fees that they could only afford due to a local news supported kickstarter/Go fund me thing.

His whole case was based on the fact they had a "Satisfaction Guaranteed" sign on the wall.

For the record the couple claims they never lost the pants and the judge is lying. Which considering his behavior seems likely.

I think you mean Punisher.

Batman is HUGE on courts/lawsuits

He loves this shit. He just lets Penguin run his evil club because Penguin does sheady shit inside the confines of the law and he knows full well the gang leaders get off on all the crimes they do.

Yet all he does is beat up their henchmen and drop them off at the police station.

This justice system is exactly what Batman supports.

Again, not sure if greedy or insane.

He's a judge, on some level he knew he was never seeing that 60 million figure

And at the same time he turned down $12,000....

Something is not right with his mental state. Leonard French speculates it might be girlfriend issues

Yeah that's a crazy ass settlement.

That's so much a "If this lawsuit goes on it will cost us over $100,000 so please just take $12,000 and fuck off forever!"

The fact he turned it down demonstrates to me that this was never about money, this was some kind of compulsion on the judge's part.

I don't see why the couple would need to counterclaim for their legal fees.

Cost is usually awarded to the winning party. So unless the couple somehow lost the case, they should be entitled to cost of the action.

In the US you don't get your costs back just because you won.

This is why almost everyone settles and there are a lot of bullshit lawsuits

It also sucks that the average citizen is expected to know the law but not the police who are supposed to enforce it.

It's America, practically every bit of our justice system is skewed towards law enforcement and the rich, if you're poor you are pretty much destroyed unless you're lucky.

There are pros and cons but as a rule I agree. The British system makes more sense.

If you go up against a multi-billion dollar corporation you are likely to lose the case no matter what it is. Now imagine the loser has to pay a fortune in legal fees too?

The question becomes do you want to actively discourage lawsuits or actively encourage them including bullshit ones?
