Re: Wow, what a piece of trash! This sort of situation is why the Republican Congress has it soooo wrong about eliminating/reducing class action cases. Obviously it would not be worthwhile for an attorney to bring a case for a single consumer who has been defrauded by the VOIP providers advertising "unlimited" residential service but if you aggregate enough of these claims it would be financially feasible and the VOIP scumbags would feel the pain. |

You know I don't totally disagree with you. The problem they faced was that trial shysters and their brother and sister shysters on the bench had so thoroughly crapped all over the system that something had to be done. It had become a system by, of, and exclusively for the lawyers... My first choice was loser pays. That's what England uses and it works to keep the junk suits out of the system. File a suit and lose because it shouldn't have been filed in the first place and you reimburse the victim of the suit all their costs.
Here we've had juries with sub-room temp IQs award millions in pure junk class action suits. Silicone implants being a perfect example. ZERO evidence but oh my she's feeling awful so let's give the poor hypochondriac millions in free money just so we feel good - after all its somebody else's free money... Pay up folks because bottom line you pay for it...
