He did lose his $105,000 a year job. And the Chungs incurred no costs, having raised the costs of the first trial through fundraising, and being represented pro bono on the appeal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson_v._Chung

He had every opportunity to avoid that, including according you your wiki taking a $12,000 settlement offer, which is way more than his case ever was worth.
It cost them their time and money, and as I recall they also closed that store. |

Not good enough. Intentional infliction of emotional distress, yes? Pain and suffering of the Chungs?

Penske and I are on board here.
Can we sue him for the damage done to the profession?
And a loss of consortium claim based on the cancelation of Boston Legal. After all, their outrageous antics paled besides these kind of real life shenanigans. I think his actions led directly to the cancellation of that show. |

you spend time on a chat room called Fashion board, how you going to pretend you can't understand a man's pain from losing his pants? sure, we can all pretend like we're above suing over some numbskull losing some pants, but shit, that the man's pants, and you know you don't fuck with a man's favorite pants, and i know it, and the fucking Chungs should fucking well have known it.

Didn't the dry cleaners have an insurance policy? Maybe not $54MM worth, but defense cost coverage?

Yeah, but an SIR of $25k or more could easily put a family business underwater. |

Ah, poly cotton blend, probably unlined. In the end what difference did it make, I thought judges went commando under those robes......why did he even own pants?

Re: It was the wrong thread
Does anyone here use IM for work purposes? I'm troubled with the outright ban of it. I lost a similar battle a few years ago, so I might be still bitter about it.
In my opinion, might as well ban e-mail too.

No IM where I work. Not sure IM and email are the same in this regard--I imagine a big part of it is retention of records, and IM doesn't retain things in an acceptable way (like using rnc.org email addresses). Also, aren't the IM servers hosted by AOL, MSN, etc., rather than some secure whitehouse facility?
I suspect they'll just use text messaging or iphone IM anyway. I would.
