The jury doesn't usually read the complaint. However, a lot of the words you see as dramatic have specific legal meanings. In this case "relied on promises" is in the language of the tort he is suing over. I don't think the "true champion" sentence has a specific meaning, but it is definitely written to imply that WPE enhanced the value of the WordPress brand.
- lolinder 2y agoWhat about "petulant whims"? I don't think it's just legal language—I've read plenty of court opinions too, some dramatic, some not. Complaints seem particular prone to the dramatic.
- pclmulqdq 2y agoI don't think "petulant whims" is legal language (not a lawyer, though). I'm assuming that's dramatization for the judge and the other side. By the way, the "champion" language I mentioned could actually be trademark-specific language that I'm not aware of.
