This lawsuit is priceless!

A Manhattan man has sued the city, NYC Transit, Au Bon Pain Store, two local hospitals, Kmart, a “Latina” dog owner and anyone else he could think of—for two undecillion dollars.

Anton Purisima, 62, filed the hand-scribbled lawsuit in Manhattan federal court seeking more money than what’s on the planet—and, in turn, likely setting a new record for a lawsuit money demand. …

Written longhand, $2 undecillion = $2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00.

Did he spill a coffee on his lap?

[Mastador1]

First thought I had after reading the article, “He must be a democrat”.

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

All Right!!

If it works for him, I'm def gonna copy his lawsuit!!

[dr_lew]

[TigersEye]

Start high and bargain down!

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

It would be a lot less work, because you’ll have only him to sue.

a “Latina” dog owner ?

How about a dog owner? What is next..a Fat dog owner, a gay dog owner. sheesh

[VerySadAmerican]

Brilliant observation!

[DanielRedfoot]

White Hispanic dog owner..?

[glyptol]

He’s justified in demanding money from me that he hasn’t work for. It’s called Civil Service.
There is nothing civil about theft unless you are on the receiving end.

Here's the latina dog

I was told by someone who had experience with courts that Federal judges especially frown on frivolous lawsuits. If that’s true, this guy could find himself charged with contempt of court.

[skr]

Actually, it should be Latino dog owner. Who knew that was an occupation?

[Bullish]

How about he just gets two raspberries and a huge thumbs down instead?

[GeronL]

Suing for more than exists

Lol

[Safrguns]

Too bad it won’t make it far enough to be laughed out of court.

[Organic Panic]

Sounds like Obama’s budget proposal.

[Mark17]

Start high and bargain down!

Maybe he will settle for $3.95. Then the judge will throw that out too. F that MoFo.

This country definitely needs to adopt a loser pay system for frivolous suits. Right now, if a defendant loses - he pays. Even if a defendant wins, he still has what may be crippling legal costs. The plaintiff, on the other hand generally stands to either win, or at worst, remains in control of when to cut his losses in terms of legal costs. The biggest losers in the present system may well be those who have legitimate suits who are told to take a number in a clogged system.

The plaintiffs need some, "skin in the game," and need to be held to account in terms of defendant legal bills, court costs, etc. if their suit is found to be frivolous.
