A Passenger Sued Southwest Airlines for Exactly $74,999 and It's Totally Brilliant. Here's Why
You may have heard: A Southwest Airlines passenger is suing Southwest for landing at the wrong airport. It's the kind of case we talked about back in law school, and I was intrigued enough to dig up the court complaint down in Missouri. I've included it at the bottom of this story. But I think the most important line in the entire filing is one most people have missed: "Plaintiff is requesting damages in the amount of $74,999.99 and nothing more." It's an odd number,… (www.inc.com) さらに...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
BS Lawsuit. Plaintiff is looking for a payoff. SWA should settle. And pay this dope $1 a month....
That site is full of click bait articles. They have an awful lot of articles that end with “and it’s totally brilliant. Here’s why”
Of course ... the “headlines” is what I meant to say lol
The article is completely WRONG...
The REAL & ONLY reason the Plaintiff and every knowledgable Plaintiff wants to stay in State Ct is because litigation fees & costs ~triple in Federal Court! Further, any appeal will be in Federal Appeals Ct which will escalate fees & costs to the point you won't be able to afford to litigate the case if you survive the fees & costs in the initial filing court.
People are clueless about litigation. They don't understand that large corporations have a HUGE and unfair advantage in that they routinely attempt to transfer cases to federal court to force the Plaintiff to abandon their case due to the enormous fees & costs.
America should adopt the same legal system Britain has... the loser ALWAYS must pay all Attorney fees & costs of the winning side which is referred to as "English rule". That would allow more money to flow to the Plaintiff and would eliminate most nuisance litigation. Write your Congressperson.

Wouldn't this great idea of yours keep any normal person from filing a lawsuit?
There are no easy answers to litigation because you never know how the Judge or Jury will rule but it would definitely help you if you have a clear cut tort action and it would definitely stop most all iffy actions unless you are rich and don't mind losing money in filing nuisance actions.
Hmmm.....................like Donald Trump you mean?
Move along everyone, no relevant thought going on here.
