An administrative law judge who filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against a drycleaners has lost his lawsuit, much to the delight of other legal professionals who were allegedly embarrassed by the case. The lawsuit was filed by the judge after claiming that the drycleaners lost his trousers. He attempted to sue the company for fifty-four million dollars, but after losing the case may now have to pay the legal fees for the Washington DC drycleaners.
The Superior Court Judge that dealt with the case stated that there was no proof that the drycleaners had lost the trousers in the first place. The plaintiff had also stated that the drycleaners afford a satisfaction guarantee. However, the ruling judge said that this was not supported by law.
She stated: “A reasonable consumer would not interpret ‘Satisfaction Guaranteed’ to mean that a merchant is required to satisfy a customer’s unreasonable demands.” The owners of the drycleaners had to spend thousands on legal fees to defend themselves.
An attorney for the drycleaner said of the ruling judge: “Judge Bartnoff has chosen common sense and reasonableness over irrationality and unbridled venom.”
