Yeah... because capital punishment, Three Strikes, Eminent Domain and Asset Forfeiture are so much better.

So...you'd rather protect your right to murder/commit multiple felonies than...have a farking Gargoyle?

kmt11: So, when you win a lawsuit, you have to pay half of the losers bills?

I'm not sure what went on here - usually the loser pays, but this was probably not a lawsuit but something pursuant to some law... where the respondent has to pay the legal fees of the applicant. Idiot probably should've gone through mediation, but it too would've cost a good deal of money as mediators aren't cheap.

His lawyer, Joseph Quinn, said: "If Mr Comer had agreed to go to mediation I'm sure the costs could have been substantially reduced. It was very upsetting for the parties."

In other words."Give us the money that this ass hole wasted and everything will be OK".

Wow, I think the UK is now officially more stupid than the US.

Thank god I already crossed the UK off my "places to retire" list. The last straw for me was a couple years ago when I found out how they take better care of poor "refugee's" than they do of their own poor citizen's.

I guess now, unless I learn a language other than english, the only places left to retire are Canada and New Zealand... Hopefully global warming doesn't fark either of them up to bad before I hit 60!

 
malibupetey 2008-04-12 10:39:51 PM  
Ok, so the guy who won the lawsuit has to pay half the expenses of the guy who brought, and lost, the lawsuit.

What does the guy who brought, and lost, the lawsuit have to pay to the guy who won? The article is quiet on that salient detail.

FTFA: If Mr Comer had agreed to go to mediation I'm sure the costs could have been substantially reduced

So UK farkers: if you accept mediation and are unable to come to an agreement does it then go to the courts? If this bloke had accepted mediation but was unable to come to an agreement and then proceeded to win his case would he have had to pay anything?

I'm totally baffled by the concept of the winner in a court battle having to pay that much. I'll just leave that little bit of insanity alone.... Although, it does almost make me want to go to good old England so that I can start frivolous lawsuits with jerks.

Wouldn't it have sufficed to put up a "no trespassing" or "owner not liable for falling objects" sign... failing that, a barbed wire fence might be a nice addition considering the neighbors.

 
maxheck 2008-04-12 11:16:23 PM  
Hmmm... legal stupidities and gargoyles...

I once had to do a midnight ninja raid to rescue two gargoyles.

A friend filed for divorce the day after her psycho husband tried slapping her around, and that weekend I and a bunch of her co-workers managed to move her and the kids out while he was away, but we didn't manage to get the two massive stone gargoyles that lived in her garden.

I got recruited because I was her biggest friend in a literal sense, and had plenty of experience with dumpster diving heavy objects like laser printers. So yeah... midnight raid to extract a couple of 150 pound gargoyles.

We ended up dating after her divorce was final... I wonder if the fact that she collected gargoyles had anything to do with the attraction?

 
tangled_slinky 2008-04-12 11:21:17 PM  
or, instead of taking it to court, why not amble on over and ask about it? "hey, those look like they could fall off and kill someone." "they were properly installed. with iron. don't worry about it." "oh. ok. cool."

/thinks lawyers are unnecessary

Hey, don't worry about it. A thread can never have too many darksided pictures. I'd like more of them, really. That woman cracks me up.

That's not a gargoyle! A chimera or grotesque figure, but not a gargoyle (new window). A proper gargoyle must conduct water.
