A woman has sued her dealer for selling her addictive and dangerous drugs.
I've no sympathy for any drug dealer, but this is ludicrous. She bought them of her own free will, and took them of her own free will, knowing the possible consequences.Quote:
A Canadian woman has successfully sued the dealer who sold her an illegal street drug that put her in a coma.
Ms Bergen said Clinton Davey had known the drug was highly addictive and dangerous but sold it to make money.
illegal or not surely her consumer rights still come into play faulty good and all that :)Quote:

NEW ORLEANS - Hurricane Katrina's victims have put a price tag on their suffering and it is staggering — including one plaintiff seeking the unlikely sum of $3 quadrillion.
The total number — $3,014,170,389,176,410 — is the dollar figure so far sought from some 489,000 claims filed against the federal government over damage from the failure of levees and flood walls following the Aug. 29, 2005, hurricane.
Of the total number of claims, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said it has received 247 for at least $1 billion apiece, including the one for $3 quadrillion.
