WASHINGTON (AP) – A judge ruled Monday in favor of a dry cleaner that was sued for $54 million over a missing pair of pants.

The owners of Custom Cleaners did not violate the city’s consumer protection law by failing to live up to Roy L. Pearson’s expectations of the “Satisfaction Guaranteed” sign once displayed in the store window, District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Judith Bartnoff ruled.

“A reasonable consumer would not interpret ‘Satisfaction Guaranteed’ to mean that a merchant is required to satisfy a customer’s unreasonable demands” or to agree to demands that the merchant would have reasonable grounds for disputing, the judge wrote.

Bartnoff ordered Pearson to pay the court costs of defendants Soo Chung, Jin Nam Chung and Ki Y. Chung.

This case should never have even been considered, the very fact that it was allowed to proceed in the 1st place stands as testament to the very fact that our legal system is in one hell of a mess…

And this Pearson guy calls himself a JUDGE?? In MY opinion, Pearson needs to be removed from the bench and prosecuted for this ludicrous BS…

I wonder?? Would he have allowed something like this to go forward in HIS court??

I seriously doubt it, I don’t know what his point was in all of this but all he has succeeded in doing is making himself look like a fool…
