dieseltaylor Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 You may remember the barking mad judge who wanted $54M for his trousers - the case lives on as a reference for tort reform: http://www.tortdeform.com/archives/2008/12/will_tort_reformers_attack_thi.html Seems to me that if legal fees were capped by an actual amount rather than a percentage then lawyers would stop this stupidity earlier and go for a realistic figure. As a further constraint perhaps for this case the court system should get a percentage of the award once it goes beyond say a few weeks ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
