Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

- no , not really, it's a pretty extreme case but not unusual within the US.S. legal system - something like that is possible, and people exploit it. I just remember a case when I was in a company internal legal committee, where a 6 year old boy stumbled over a calculator laying on the ground, and the calculator company was sued for an exorbitant amount of health cost for a broken arm and a possible lifetime rent for medical impairment from that accident . Some people work together with a lawyer supporting such claims and getting a decent share at the end........

Unbelievable indeed, but bad people do exist.
When you smell one, turn 180°.

How come the Courts tolerate been made to look a mule, in layman’s terms, “A proper Jackass”
Where all common sense and decency are lost...

The man that filed the lawsuit had over 120 lawsuits filed since 2008 according to an article in 2014. Most were about internet purchases. The Indiana Supreme Court judges called him "a prolific, abusive litigant". The article states the man is a photographer and an illustrator. Maybe he should have gone to law school.

I think it's better to keep on printing and enjoy the prints and rather don't read stuff like this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frivolous_litigation and many more, it's pretty sad that all this is so popular, and some people (incl. their lawyers) even make their living out of that.

codswallop

I thought the definition was going to be much worse than it was and you would have to give yourself a time out on the forum.

I'm just sad to say the guy lives in my city. You can bet if I sell anything on craigslist and he shows up I will walk away.
