Public left in stitches over $54m pants lawsuit

A NOW-FAMOUS pair of pants was the star attraction at a fundraiser meant to help pay the bills of a dry-cleaner couple caught in a legal stitch.

The $54 million (€39.4m) pants, as they’ve come to be known, were the subject of a widely mocked lawsuit that garnered international attention. Now, they have their own security guard.

Groups advocating stricter guidelines for filing lawsuits and supporters of Jin Nam Chung and Soo Chung, the owners of Custom Cleaners, came from across the country to attend the cocktail fundraiser.
