IIRC this was in Small Claims Court. No lawyers involved. Just judicial insanity.
That's my point. All the greedy rapacious lawyers in the world mean nothing w/o a judiciary inclined to cater to them. Here we have the ultimate example; a judge willing to issue a muddled opinion w/o the influence of lawyers; it's exactly what they want.
What a horrid woman. I would love for someone to do such a kind thing for me. What an idiot judge. Doesn't he have anything better to do? Aren't the courts backed up enough with real cases? I bet this woman is the type to have lots of soft tissue injuries after a little no damage fender bender, too. ARRRRRRGH!
