A pricey pair of pants

June 15, 2007

DC Administrative Court Judge Roy Pearson is suing his dry cleaners for $54 million after claiming they lost his pants. Pearson, who reduced an original demand for $67 million to $54 million last month, arrived at the figures based on fines accruing for the four years allowed under the statute of limitations and other costs, such as $15,000 to rent a car to use another dry cleaning shop.
