Hilarious Court Cases You Won’t Believe

  In 2007, when Custom Cleaners, a neighborhood dry cleaner, returned what Judge Roy Pearson claimed to be the wrong pair of pants, Pearson, an administrative law judge, decided to take action and sue for $67 million. He claimed that the pants he dropped off for alteration had been lost and the dry cleaner did not meet the claim of the “satisfaction guaranteed” sign that hung in the dry cleaner’s window. The $67 million, which later was lowered to $53 million, Pearson says was equal to claims for common law fraud violations. Pearson eventually lost the pant case after he failed to prove the trousers he picked up were not his.
