IMHO, this is one of those suits which is likely to be dismissed as a)frivolous, b) unenforcable (as has been already mentioned) Remember, it's simply a lawyer's opinion at the moment - it still has to make its way through due process, and I doubt that's likely. On another note, it's a shame that the courts are continually tied up with suits like this - it's just another way for someone in the legal profession to collect fees - whether he wins or not. (And certainly the publicity doesn't hurt either,unless the whole thing backfires on the lawyer.) Sure, the guy being sued will sweat for a few months, but it'll likely turn out he'll be vindicated. Question: does double jeapordy apply here? If he "wins" the suit, i.e. has it dismissed or otherwise declared invalid, can they still get him on the fraud?
