There are better arguments that can be made for tort reform. But, the guy needs help and probably shouldn't be a judge, but I am sure those making that decision have got to be thinking about what kind of lawsuit he will bring if he is disbarred and dismissed as an administrative judge.

How do you judge frivolity? Seamus Edited by Seamus May 3, 2007, 02:30:27 PM EDT Expand All History

Post #283,822 by Seamus 5/3/07 2:42:53 PM Reply	In this case I definitely agree In too many other cases, reasonable men reasonably disagree on frivolity. Seamus
Post #283,823 by boxley 5/3/07 3:05:33 PM Reply	thats not what he is asking he is asking for 10 years (life of pants) of weekly car rentals (he doesnt own a car) to drive to a competant dry cleaner. Now one may accept unacceptable service or not. It is not incumbent upon a tradesman to pay a customer to go elsewhere. Thats where his argument fails. thanx, bill Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 51 years. meep reach me at [link\|mailto:bill.oxley@cox.net\|mailto:bill.oxley@cox.net]

Post #283,835 by Seamus 5/3/07 3:31:25 PM Reply	Not only unreasonable but clearly vindicative. He had prior disagreements with them, but still chose to use them because they were close. He turned down a settlement offer of $12k. The man has some issues. Seamus
