Judge loses €40m lost trousers claim
A US judge today ruled in favour of a South Korean dry cleaner who was sued for €40m over a missing pair of trousers in a case that garnered international attention and renewed calls for litigation reform.
The owners of Custom Cleaners did not violate the city’s consumer protection act by failing to live up to Roy Pearson’s expectations of the “Satisfaction Guaranteed” sign that was once placed in the store window, District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Judith Bartnoff ruled.
