Quite a big deal over a pair of pants...

It really makes me wonder about the judge in question since according to this Reuters article, Judge presses $54 million suit for lost pants the case at face value seems to be a huge farce.

A judge in Washington pressed a $54 million lawsuit Tuesday against a dry cleaning shop which he said violated consumer-protection laws when it lost his pants.

Roy L. Pearson, an administrative judge for the District of Columbia, told a local court that Custom Cleaners should pay the sum because a "satisfaction guaranteed" sign deceived consumers who, like him, were dissatisfied with their experience.

Seriously, this puts a whole new meaning to the phrase "sue the pants off of someoneone".
