A protagonist of mine is presently on the receiving end of a ludicrously frivolous case . I ’d hump to write all about it here , but that ’s believably not going to avail his case . So instead , here are some other thinker - boggle legal action , good manners of Deborah Ng atLegalZoom.com .
" ¢ In 1991 , Richard Harris sue Anheiser - Busch for $ 10,000 for false advertising . Harris take to suffer from aroused suffering in addition to mental and forcible hurt . Why ? Because when he drank beer , he did n’t have any luck with the ladies , as promised in the television advertising . Harris also did n’t like that he got unbalanced sometimes after he drank . The compositor’s case was thrown out of courtroom .
" ¢ In 1998 , Kellogg sued Exxon because customers might confuse the gas place ’s " whimsical Panthera tigris logo" with Kellogg ’s mascot , " Tony the Tiger . “ It did n’t count , of course of instruction , that Exxon had already been using this logotype for 30 years . A federal courtroom toss the suit . Kellogg appealed the case claiming the Exxon Panthera tigris walk and acts just like Kellogg ’s " Tony . “
" ¢ In 2003 , Richard Schick sued his former employer , the Illinois Department of Public financial aid . Schick sought $ 5 million plus $ 166,700 in back pay for sexual and disability discrimination . In fact , Shick was so stress by this favoritism that he rob a convenience store with a shotgun . A panel feel his pain and awarded him the money he was seeking . The decisiveness was then reversed . unluckily , the $ 303,830 he was still award is n’t doing him much good during the ten days he ’s serving for armed robbery .
" ¢ In 1996 , Florida forcible therapist Paul Shimkonis sue his local nudie bar claim whiplash from a circuit dancer ’s large breasts . Shimkonis felt he suffered physical harm and mental anguish from the breasts , which he claimed feel like " cement blocks" hit him . Shimkonis sought justice in the amount of $ 15,000 , which was denied .
Ng has many more storieshere . I hope to one day summate my protagonist ’s tale to this list .
