Judge Drops Pants from Suit Against Dry Cleaners
posted 5:20 am Wed June 06, 2007 - WASHINGTON
A customer who believes he was mistreated by a dry cleaner has dropped the pants from his suit.
Roy Pearson filed a $67 million lawsuit against the dry cleaning business that lost his pants, but now he's has lowered his demand - to just $54 million.
Instead of the lost pants, he's now focusing his claims on signs that were once in the shop that claimed "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "Same Day Service."
But an attorney for the family that owns the business says no reasonable person would interpret the signs to be an unconditional promise of satisfaction. He doesn't expect Pearson to win any compensation when the trial starts June eleventh.
