Judge should be impeached and sent to mental hospital.

The Chungs also said the trial had taken an enormous financial and emotional toll on them and exposed them to widespread ridicule.

Seems to me that the lawyer is the one who should be ridiculed here. A new pair of pants doesn't cost $67 million.

I hope he now sues the producers of the movie “The Never Ending Story.”

Plaintiff Roy L. Pearson, Jr. should be ashamed of himself. He used his legal experience in a most heinous fashion and should have his license to practice law revoked.

Not only that, he’s a class A a**hole.

Does it mean the guy who brought the suit has to be something to the dry cleaners for the money they spent defending themselves?

And the fun continues. This claim could be the basis for an abuse of process/malicious prosecution lawsuit. I don't think the Chungs were the ones who were ridiculed; it was that idiotic fatheaded overreaching grasping greedy sleazy slimey lawyer who got all the boos.

He’s an “administrative law judge” (high salaried clerk)

“are awarded the costs of this action “

What are “costs”?

Do they include lawyer’s fees?

No. Cost are usually small amounts, related filing fees, the cost of having a brief or an appendix printed, if that's requrired, and so forth, but costs specifically do not include attorney's fees.

The judge filed a frivolous lawsuit

“Cost are usually small amounts, related filing fees, the cost of having a brief or an appendix printed, if that’s requrired, and so forth, but costs specifically do not include attorney’s fees.”

Could the judge have awarded the costs and the lawyer’s fees both? It seems like that would be a way to keep these kinds of frivolous from being so commonplace.

Which only goes to prove you shouldn’t try to take the cleaners to the cleaners.
