How is there not a class action against Nissan yet? Anyone want to step up?

This is a worse idea for a lawsuit than the bish who spilled the coffee in her lap.

That lawsuit was ligitimate. The amount she was awarded, was not however.

McDonald's, in an effort to pinch every penny (at least that one store) was superheating old coffee that should have been changed out for fresh coffee in an effort to boost revenue by keeping and serving old coffee. It may seem like a small amount but over time and "billions and billions served", even small change turns big in a hurry. Anyway.. had the bish spilled fresh (normal temp) coffee in her lap, she might have gotten burned but most likely not to the extent that she did with the nuclear brew that hit her lap that morning. Did she deserve the 20 mil or whatever it was? No but just sayin...

A better example of frivolous lawsuit to use would be the one where that guy trespassed into that other dudes backyard in an effort to rob his place and got bit by the dog that was chained to the tree and sued the owner... and won.

Yep. It always drives me nuts when people reference that McD's lawsuit without understanding what actually happened.

Well, it doesn't help that every coffee cup bears a "contents may be hot" warning, which is patently obvious to anyone who enjoys hot coffee.

The lawsuit itself may not have been frivolous, but the resultant disclaimers are silly.

Also, the fact that the temp of the MickyD coffee was identical to many of it's competitors AND the same as many home coffee makers on the market suggests the lady's lawer wwas very good at jury selection.

Oh yeah... as far as this thread is concerned, the OP needs to learn about what constitutes a class action lawsuit. This doesn't even compute and in no way would a judge ever even hear such a matter.

Bodily harm or actual breaking a contract are usually in order just as a starting point...

I think KillerBee is pointing out that in order to have a cause of action, one must show that s/he has either actually suffered damage (i.e., some sort of loss), or that a contract has been breached.

Didn't I say that? Add: A lot of people have to be able to show that same hence the "class" action.

I wonder if I gave out a cheap little plastic toy for every blowjob recieved, little Timmy would "force" his mommy to come over more often?

Hey semtex, how you doing?
Owners of the 350Z had a class action law suit.

Thank god we drive a 370! lol

That lawsuit = possible "injury" in that people are being forced to spend money in a way that doesn't constitute "normal" spending over a certain period. Has a judge entertained this one yet?
