"NO PANTS, NO NEW TRIAL"
The New York Times has reported in No Pants, No New Trial:
An appeals court turned down a request for a new trial from a former District of Columbia judge who sued his dry cleaner for $54 million over a lost pair of pants. The District of Columbia Court of Appeals rejected the request from the former judge, Roy L. Pearson, above, to overturn a 2007 ruling that denied him damages. Mr. Pearson had argued that the cleaners failed to live up to its promise of “Satisfaction Guaranteed.” Three judges said Mr. Pearson failed to show fraud and said his argument defied logic.
