Why is this case a $54,000,000 lawsuit instead of the Judge Judy case it should be?

Judge Presses $54 Million Suit Over Pants

*snip*

He originally sued Custom Cleaners for about $65 million under the District of Columbia consumer protection act and almost $2 million in common law claims. He is no longer seeking damages related to the pants, instead focusing his claims on two signs in the shop that have since been removed.

He alleges that Jin Chung, Soo Chung and Ki Chung, owners of the mom-and-pop business, committed fraud and misled consumers with signs that claimed "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "Same Day Service."

I hope the presiding judge tells this cad, this bounder, this charlatan, that he gets his $29.95 back for martinizing, and that's it!

3. The best part of the whole thing

was that one of the things he demanded from them before he filed this lawsuit, was money to rent a car so he could drive to another business.

Uhh...if you've got a thousand dollars to spend on a suit, wouldn't you already have your own car?
