Craig BrightModeratorA curious read from the Hong Kong Judiciary’s website regarding a case brought forth concerning a complaint against a Hong Kong hotel.
Apparently the list of complaints “ran to over 30 pages in the writ” with the plaintiff claiming poor service and faulty items caused “pain and suffering”. The subsequent list of afflictions is particularly gripping.

canuckladParticipantI’m led to believe that Steven Spielberg was thinking about turning her stay into a blockbuster thriller musical called LA LA land, but was beaten to the title.
I wonder what the outcome would have been if Lucy had experienced her traumatic 6 month stay at a US establishment and had brought her legal writ in an American court.
Thank goodness our HK judge pretty much sent her packing and this phrase is by the far the best……..
“More importantly, although the plaintiff may have exhausted all English vocabulary describing negative feelings, none amount to show that she has suffered from any medically recognised illness or injury that was caused by such incidents.”
Maybe, the movie should simply be called……. Sulk Fiction

donkeyasiaParticipantJust a thought. As the result of sterling legal work, should the film be renamed ‘SILK FICTION?

travelworldParticipantNice to see that the hotel, rather than paying her something in damages to make her go away, actually stuck it out- and the court saw her for what she really was. Although litigation is expensive, sometimes you just have to defend a ridiculous claim.
