"The city will pay the defendants $230,000 in attorneys costs and $60,000 each in damages."
Ah the wonderful legal process. I was once sued for not entering a rent agreement and in the end we settled and everyone lost money except the lawyers. The reason we settled was simply that the court added new court days for this ridiculous case of I believe about a 1000 dollars worth. The thought of having to do this for another 2 or 3 days for the next year was simply not worth it.
So, you did not sign the agreement & were sued? How does that work?
Yeah, lawyers are scumbags.
Another case where the EFF, goes to the rescue. It's great that we have them.
"The city also sought the return of the documents"
I... what?
What a waste of taxpayer money.
I'm thrilled when incompetence is punished by reality. At least twice as thrilled when it's incompetence of government employees.
