It's one of those things that's so ridiculously absurd that you think it just has to be fake.If you sue someone and lose, you should have to pay the defendant's legal bills.

Please read the rest of the report. It just gets better and better. This guy is a judge, and he's suing his local mom 'n pop dry cleaners for $67 MILLION because they lost his pants. Those must be really special pants. The dry cleaners have offered to settle for $12,000, but the suing judge said no. This case has been ongoing for years, and the defendants have been racking up legal bills.
I really like the fact that he's asking for $15,000 for rental car fees to take his dry cleaning to another location. There is no way in hell that a judge owns his own car, no way whatsoever.
This sue everyone attitude over here is ridiculous and embarrassing.
