I went when I was really young. I think I mainly visited resorts and amusement parks.
Judge who sued over trousers aims to do it again

Indeed a sliding scale of some kind should be in order…
Plantif Case “Proven Percentage” (the amount of validity in the plantiff’s argument):
0-10% Plantiff pays 100% of defendent cost
10-20% Plantiff pays 50% of defendent cost
20-30% Plantiff pays 25% of defedent cost
30-50% Plantiff pays 0% of defendent cost
51-100% Plantiff wins suitIn the first example, you see a true firvolous case, with virtually none of the plantiff points having merit. They pay the full cost of the defense
In the second, there are a few valid points, but they are minor and the matter should have been settled without going to court, Plantiff pays half.
In the third, the plantiff had significant points which were proven in court and played into the matter, but overall the Defendent acted in accordance with the law, the matter should have been arbitrated or settled out of court. Plantiff pays only 1/4 of the defence fees.
In the fourth, the Plantiff showed that much of their case was credible, and perhaps lacked in only a few areas, or that the defendent barely managed to show a slight shift in the scales to prevent judgement against them. VALID CASE REQUIRING AJUDICATION BY THE COURTS, no penalty to the Plantiff.
And in the last case… Plantiff proved their case. Judgement against the Defendent.

If I remember the story right they found the pants and still offered to settle for $10K or more at one point.

That’s actually what the euphemism “An eye for an eye” actually means. It doesn’t mean the physical retribution of removing the offending attackers’ eye, but compensation to the victim for the loss of the eye.
'Kay, that was my 2 cents.

wow, what a… idiot. There is no other word to describe him.
