Lost $65 million dollar pant: Verdict

You might think $65 million buys a lot of trousers. You could buy a trouser factory and still have plenty of change. So how did Judge Pearson justify his claim?

His case is that the Custom Cleaners have not honoured the ‘Satisfaction
Guaranteed’ sign above their counter. This has caused Judge Pearson ‘mental suffering, inconvenience and discomfort’. Naturally, it will take millions of dollars to rebuild his life.

Plus there are his legal costs. Judge Pearson has hired himself as a lawyer. And he doesn’t come cheap!



The Ruling


The judge in the case rules in favour of Custom Cleaners. ‘Satisfaction guaranteed,’ she writes in her ruling, does not apply to ‘a customer’s unreasonable demands.’
