frivolous lawsuits

How about this one? Man sues Chinese actress over her intense stare in TV show I also seem to recall a recent one in which some person sued "all homosexuals" for making the baby Jesus cry or something like that. No specific person, just "all homosexuals".

LtB link. xkcd link.

Remember the bizarre attempts by Judy Wood and Morgan Reynolds to sue Applied Research, Boeing, Underwriters Laboratories, et al, by purporting to bring qui tam complaints on behalf of the United States of America, alleging that the defendants made false claims to the NIST, which resulted in the...

As many here will recall, the lawsuits brought by Judy "Space Beams" Wood and Morgan "No Planes" Reynolds against - well, just about everybody and his brother - making all manner of unfounded allegations in support their various 9/11 fantasies, were both dismissed with prejudice by the court on...

I just checked PACER to see if there were any updates to the Judy Wood litigation or the Morgan Reynolds litigation and, lo and behold, the qui tam complaints brought by Judy Wood and Morgan Reynolds (as well as another related claim by a fellow named Edward Haas), alleging wide-scale fraud by...

Ah, so, we're having fun posting up photographs relevant to the topic of the thread, I see. Well, why not consider the question where, in little more than 10 seconds for each episode of destruction, did the buildings go?

As many of the regulars at this subforum know, Kevin Ryan's lawsuit against Underwriters Laboratories (ostensibly a wrongful termination claim but, in reality, a backdoor attempt to draw attention to himself and the tinhat conspiracy theories that he believes in regarding the events of 9/11) was...

In order to make a point about frivilous lawsuits, State Senator Ernie Chambers sues god. http://www.ketv.com/news/14133442/detail.html http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20823832 I found this to be pretty hilarious. Nice to see a politician with a sense of humour. :D

Well, well, well. I popped in at PACER tonight to check on the status of the Ryan v. UL litigation, idly wondering whether UL had brought a new motion to dismiss. Imagine my surprise when I saw several new documents entered and the case listed as "terminated". It appears that Kevin Ryan's...

UL's Motion to Dismiss Kevin Ryan's lawsuit has been granted. I will send a copy of the document to ~enigma~ for posting at the site he created to host the documents, but here is a brief summary. The claims alleging a public policy exception to the at-will employment doctrine in Indiana (on 7...

Article I always thought that the "red cross" was an international symbol for emergency aid and health care. Isn't there precedent for trademarks wherein if it isn't enforced, and the mark has been used by other for years, the TM holder losses the rights to it? This seems petty on J&J's part...

This is a bit of an older article, but still one close to my heart. I did a search to see if this had come up before and didn't find anything, so I decided to bring this up. I'm in the middle of organizing an election to remove the local school board members for a number of reasons. One of them...

As has been mentioned in other threads, I have collected the documents filed in court in the litigation between Kevin Ryan and Underwriters Laboratories. There was an earlier thread on this, at which time only Ryan's Complaint and UL's Motion to Dismiss were posted since, at that time, Ryan...

Over on LCF Terrorcell is trying to bait Russell Pickering with what is apparently a posting from April Gallop. Now, I don't know much about this woman, except that she was in the Pentagon at the time of the plane impact. Terrorcell seems to think that her posting is some kind of endorsement...

From http://www.ultruth.com/ By all accounts, the unprecedented events of September 11th, 2001 “changed everything”...To help ensure this accountability, I've filed a lawsuit against UL for wrongful termination. My attorneys and I hope to gain more information about UL’s role in the testing...

Texas has tort reform. My wife's uncle slipped and fell at work on an oil spill in Texas. Nearly paralized, unable to work in the same capacity ever again. Lots of titanium in his spine now. I know nothing of the case they presented, nor of the defense's, just that her uncle lost the trial...

From Yahoo and AP: This is just more Bush bull****. There already is a law against frivolous lawsuits brought in federal court, and it protects businesses and doctors. For that matter, it protects everyone from suits that are without merit in fact or law. There are also laws in place to...

From slashdot, today chongo writes "Orbital Development has filed legal action against the United States by filing a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment in Federal Court. After NASA's NEAR probe landed on the asteroid 433 Eros, Gregory W. Nemitz, who claims to have owned the asteroid since the...

I heard a radio commercial that said that last year, $1.6 billion was spent on settling frivolous lawsuits out of court. I am skeptical of anyone's ability to calculate such a figure. Many, if not most, corporate out of court settlements require non-disclosure agreements. Furthermore, while...
