The civil legal system needs overhauled. If someone pursues a frivolous lawsuit and loses....they should have to pay for the waste of services to the taxpayers.LJS9502_basicWouldn't that prevent certain classes from seeking justice due to a lack of funds to pay for the service should the opposition win the suit?
Not that I'm condoning this suit or these people's attitude. That just seems like a really bad idea to me.
Maybe in those cases the court could be pick up the tab but overall I agree with LJS the losing party needs to cover the legal fees if they can afford just to keep some of these "lawsuits" from actually reaching court.
Considering what we've seen from lobbying efforts in Congress and courts ruling in favor of extending rights to corporations while stripping individuals of theirs, I'd prefer not to shift the balance of judicial power in favor of deep pockets any further.100% Agreed.God this type of thing makes me rage. Thank God the Judge had sense and (eventually) dismissed the case.
Those kids are spoiled selfish morons.

It would have been if this case had been on Judge Judy. Not only would they have gotten yelled at for their nonsense case, but they also wouldn't be wasting a real court's time since JJ is just a TV judge.

You do realize the Judge Judy was a real judge in family court in New York right? Judge Joe Brown was a real judge too and was very creative with some of his sentences.

I didn't say she was never a judge. As a fan of JJ, I know that she was a real family court judge.
But she's not a real judge on her show.

Hence the word frivolous....which are cases that won't be won but waste time and money.[QUOTE="WhiteKnight77"]

She's not working for the state....she's still a real judge on the show. Those people give up their right to court to be tried on her show. But she's still acting as a judge.[QUOTE="GreySeal9"][QUOTE="WhiteKnight77"]

But she's still acting as a judge.Actually, she is an arbitrator, the parties agree to binding arbitration instead of actually going to court. In a way, her show and others like hers, help remove frivolous cases from already overcrowded courts. Sure, people do not think their cases are frivolous and often, many people do not think they are in the wrong, but those shows are an indicator of how far our society has fallen and that people do not want to take responsibility for their actions or in the case of animals, them.

That's why she doesn't have to conduct herself like a judge would.
Her judgments are still legally binding, but that is because the two parties agree to be legally bound by her decision and the federal abitration act gives her rulings authority.

That is definitely the most recurring theme on Judge Judy.
Some people would rather be embarrased than admit fault or own up to their responsibilities.

Hence the word frivolous....which are cases that won't be won but waste time and money. Don't we already throw out cases that can't reasonably be won? Would all thrown out cases be subject to this rule, or would someone be in charge of arbitrarily dictating what was frivolous?[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="mattbbpl"] Wouldn't that prevent certain classes from seeking justice due to a lack of funds to pay for the service should the opposition win the suit?Hence the word frivolous....which are cases that won't be won but waste time and money.

How could this case drag on for two years? I am going to write as if I was addressing the children. You want to know what bad mothering is, you brats (I reserve the right to call these 20 and 23 year olds brats)? Well, did you hear about the mom who poured hot sauce in her own son's mouth and then gave him a cold shower? At least that kid has a right to sue his mother for bad parenting. Oh, you want 50'000 dollars because you didn't get an expensive enough dress? THERE ARE PEOPLE LIVING IN POVERTY WHO COULD USE 100 DOLLARS, LET ALONE 50,000. It just makes me sick that you feel you deserve this money. Greed, stupidity, what has our country come to?
As much as I'd hate to say it, maybe the kids deserve the money, only because they obviously haven't learned to appreciate things and they were never taught to settle their differences without a middleman (referee). But seriously now, we KNOW these kids are idiots and don't deserve it, that first sentence was sarcasm, but are you kidding me?!?! I can't wait to see the first lawsuit towards a father and how he cut his kid's umbilical cord 'improperly'.
