That's not what a vexatious litigant is. Hundreds of thousands of dollars is a real loss.

- kryogen1c 7y agoIs it? Wal-Mart's revenue is 500billion. 500 thosand is .0001%. If you make 200k, thats like suing someone over 20 bucks
- egdod 7y agoTotally, like why does Wal-Mart even bother selling items that cost less than a million dollars?
- kryogen1c 7y agoThis lawsuit could drag on for years and cost a significant portion of the amount being sued over because the value is so small. Hardly an equivalence.
- function_seven 7y agoThe alternative is that Wal-Mart establishes a policy of allowing vendors to damage them for 6-figure amounts with little consequence. That’s probably not the right strategy. Kind of like Newegg spending more defending patent lawsuits than settling with the trolls. (Do they still do that?)
- egdod 7y agoTons of lawsuits are brought for under 100k. This argument applies to all of them. The fact that Wal-Mart is a big company doesn't change anything.
- MertsA 7y agoEspecially Walmart, which routinely prosecutes shoplifters even over trivial amounts to curb theft.
- coldtea 7y ago$20 bucks, and the fact that he sold you something as safe, that can burn down your business and kill people...
- vageli 7y ago> Is it? Wal-Mart's revenue is 500billion. 500 thosand is .0001%. If you make 200k, thats like suing someone over 20 bucks So we just accept violations of the law because of some arbitrary scale you made up? Can you cite any laws that grant amnesty for thefts _under_ a certain dollar amount?
