Dry cleaner wins in $54 million suit for pants
Judge rules plaintiff must pay court costs

WASHINGTON - A judge ruled Monday in favor of a dry cleaner that was sued for $54 million over a missing pair of pants.

The owners of Custom Cleaners did not violate the city's Consumer Protection Act by failing to live up to Roy L. Pearson's expectations of the "Satisfaction Guaranteed" sign once displayed in the store window, District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Judith Bartnoff ruled.

Bartnoff ordered Pearson to pay the court costs of defendants Soo Chung, Jin Nam Chung and Ki Y. Chung.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm really happy about this. It was a stupid case to begin with, and I'm really glad Pearson is being forced to pay the court costs. I'd be even happier if he was forced to fold/iron clothing as a few month of community service.

This case should have been thrown out as soon as it was filed...the fact that the guy was a judge is even more astounding.

I thought so too. Sounds to me like the guy went off the deep end.

This is the epitomy of a frivolous law suit. I can't wait until the dry cleaner file a civil suit so they can claim the thousands of dollars of lost wages and lawyer fees.

I'd like to see them sue him back to the stone ages.

Nice 2 see an @$$whole get his just desserts...what a anal wart. If I was the judge, I probably would have smacked him for being such a buttwipe.

I'm suing you for having too much popcorn in your avatar.

And I'm suing Son Kokujin for bringing up a REALLY old thread. I'll go light on him though as this was one of my favorite news stories of 2007.
