Beware standing a Lawyer up....

(Posted on 07/02/12)

In the spring of 1978 a Mr Tom Horsley, a 30 year old lawyer from San Jose invited Miss Alyn Chesseltet out for an evening. At the very last minute she cancelled.
Mr Horsley then sued her.

He went to the small claims court and filed a lawsuit against Miss Chesselet on the grounds that she had broken an oral contract to have dinner and see the musical the Wizz. Mr Horsley, who made a 100 mile round trip to visit her, informed the court that he wanted to be paid for two hours of driving at his minimum rate and car expenses per mile + a filing fee + a fee to serve court papers.

Do you know some one who would do this if they thought they could get away with it?
