Ridiculous Suit of the Week
May 7, 2008 by Sai Jahann
Victoria Beckham is reportedly suing Rock & Republic - the manufacturers of her line of high-end jeans - for £50 million. This is all rumor for now, as the complaint hasn’t been served on R&R yet. But the Daily Mail reports that Mrs. Beckham is claiming the damages because her jeans were more profitable than initially thought… despite the fact that the jeans are not selling and instead are being shipped to discount retailers. Anyone know whether the UK has sanctions for frivolous lawsuits? (Via Pink Is The New Blog.)
I don’t know if they have sanctions, but they have a loser pays rule.
