Steve Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 WASHINGTON - A judge who lost a $54 million lawsuit against a dry cleaner over a missing pair of pants continues to press his suit. Roy Pearson, a District of Columbia administrative law judge, filed a notice of appeal Tuesday. Jin Nam Chung and Soo Chung, the owners of Custom Cleaners, had hoped Pearson would back off the case after withdrawing their demand Monday that he pay their legal fees, their attorney said. Pearson, who did not immediately respond to an e-mail message seeking comment, has claimed that the â??Satisfaction Guaranteedâ? sign that once hung in the Chungsâ?? shop was misleading and violated the cityâ??s consumer protection act. Pearsonâ??s two-page filing Tuesday presented no new arguments. He is expected to present his appeal once the D.C. Court of Appeals schedules briefings in the case. The trouble began in 2005 after a pair of Pearsonâ??s pants that he brought to the cleaners went missing. But a week later, the Chungs said the pants had been found and refused to pay. Pearson said those were not his pants and decided to sue. I'd be willing to donate to a defense fund for the drycleaners. This guy is a complete nutcase. If there is any justice he'll litterally 'lose his shirt' from counter lawsuits, loss of employment opportunities, job, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon46 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I read a while back that given the press coverage of this case and his extremely poor judgement, it is unlikely that he will be reappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I wonder how many of his past cases are going to be overturned because of his incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
