Judge presses $54 million suit for lost pants

Those of you who has been following news these days would have heard of this lawsuit which has attracted international attention. Its about a judge who sent her pants to a laundry shop with a sign that says 'Satisfaction garuanteed' who then misplaced it. So now the judge is suing them, asking for a compensation based on the fees for renting a car to another laundry shop and the other stuff for originally US$64million but she later reduced it to 54 and the shop said it found the pants but she said it wasn't hers.

In my opinion this is an extreme example of how the rich and smart bully the poor. Come on, how much does these people earn from a small laundry shop and she's asked for millions for losing a lousy pair of pants that cost US$1000. Its probably impossible for the family to repay her in this lifetime and I'm sure she knows that. She probably like that pants alot and got angry at them losing it but this is no excuse to exact revenge in such a way just becoz u noe the legal system. Ugly side of people, but pretty unexpected from a judge, at least to me. Buying a dry cleaner and put it in your house would probably cost less than 1% of wad she's asking for. Shame on you!
