The judge should have to pay reasonable attorneys fees, but the idiot lawyers who ran up such a ridiculous bill should just not be paid. It’s a grossly excessive fee which should not be paid BY ANYBODY.

I’m not sure what really disturbs me more. That the moronic judge was allowed to sue for $54 million, or even get a judge to permit this within their court, or the fact that defending against such a lawsuit required $83,000 in legal fees.

That idiot judge who sued for that ridiculous amount of money should have been made to pay the 83 large.

A plantiff can only be stuck with the defendants legal fees if the suit itself is deemed frivolous. Its not based upon ridiculous claims of damages or compensation. The guy who sued had the right, regardless of the obviously ridiculous claim of damage. The court simply ruled that the defendant had not violated the "satisfaction guaranteed" claim.

I think some people confuse the concepts of liability and compensation. While a dry cleaner would be liable for lost clothes, damage for such certainly is not in the millions, let alone thousands.

I know lawyer fees can add up really quickly, but $83,000 for what seemed to everyone to be an easy case to defend sounds a bit high.

My personal feelings about such lawsuits is that a person should only be allowed to be compensated for actual damage which has occurred. I do not personally believe in the concept of "punitive damage" and compensation for "mental stress" or anything else that can not be objectively calculated. As you can imagine, many lawyers don't like me or that concept.

How much did the (*&(*&$%*&!!!!! pants cost?

That was the damages, get it?????

The judge who heard this case should be thrown from the bench and run out of town.

The putz who brought the suit.....death by Bula-Bula.

That idiot judge who sued for that ridiculous amount of money should have been made to pay the 83 large.

That's what I was thinking.

Where's the decent attorney to take this case pro bono to sue the pants (pun intended) off Judge Roy Pearson for his vicious, predatory lawsuit?

Jerks like this must be made to have something to lose for such behavior!

The judge hearing the case should have cut the whole thing off on Day 1. She should have sent Pearson for a court-ordered psych exam based on the absurdity of his initial filing and then dismissed the case when the obvious result was reported. There should never have been a day in court. Pearson is clearly seriously mentally ill. It made no more sense to allow this case to be heard, than to allow some ranter claiming “so-and-so turned me into a newt” to have a long drawn out court proceeding to consider the rant, and force the alleged newt-turner to hire defense attorneys.

The DC government should be picking up the tab for every cent of the Chungs’ legal expenses and a bundle more for their time and stress, and the judge who heard the case should be thrown off the bench. The DC government has a duty not to allow its judges to entertain frivolous lawsuits by obviously mentally unstable persons, at huge expense to perfectly innocent citizens.
