$54 million lawsuit over a pair of pants is decided
The case of the pants lost by the drycleaners and the ensuing $54 million lawsuit has been decided. District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Judith Bartnoff ruled that Custom Cleaners did not violate the Consumer Protection Act with its “Satisfaction Guaranteed” sign.
Administrative law judge Roy L. Pearson accused the business of fraud under the Consumer Protection Act when they lost his pants and gave him a pair that was not his.
A two-day trial was heard earlier this month, the judge has just ruled. The judge has awarded Pearson no damages, and he has been ordered to pay the costs of the defendants, Soo Chung, Jin Nam Chung and Ki Y. Chung.
