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.
The judge should have made an award of “reasonable” attorneys’ fees. Depending on hourly rate and number of hours, this $83,000 could very well be termed reasonable. I would assume they have itemized fee statements to back it up. The judge should definitely should make the plaintiff pay the defendants’ attorneys’ fees.
