Anti-consumer
groups like the Pacific Research Institute and Alabama Voters Against
Lawsuit Abuse, which are funded by big companies, are seeing their weak
arguments for tipping the scales of justice in favor of rich CEOs and
against citizens get even weaker.
The ruling of a Washington,
D.C., judge in favor of the dry cleaners in the now-famous "pants case"
is proof positive that the American civil justice system works well as
is. In addition, the plaintiff, D.C. Administrative Law Judge Roy
Pearson, was ordered by the judge of the case to pay the defendants'
court costs in the outrageous case.
Our civil justice system is
designed to protect the rights of all parties, defendants included, and
the judge's ruling in this case demonstrates how well the system works
to weed-out frivolous lawsuits.
Anti-consumer groups like PRI and
AVALA who are the labor behind the CEO-led takeover of the courts don't
like that the judge's ruling in this case proves the civil justice
system works for consumers who are in the right, no matter if they are
bringing or defending a lawsuit. Will these same groups put as much
energy and money in broadcasting the result as they did when the case
was filed?
The overpaid CEOs of the billion-dollar corporations
behind PRI, AVALA and other anti-consumer groups hate to see justice
served, especially when it works against them. Is there a need for
reform? Absolutely, it's called corp(orate) reform, not tort reform.
