  - not my best but you can totally see the movie -- nm - stuffed pixie Nov 3, 11:25
Folks should be able to line up and kick this guy's butt. He wants his ex-wife flown back to the states from somewhere in Latvia. - Diva Nov 3, 11:20
Contracts for wedding photography do not typically specify which photos will be taken, usually just how long a photog will be on site and how many - zeitgeist Nov 3, 11:16 4
- I'm not sure clauses like that always stand up - ty97 Nov 3, 11:21 3
  - most wedding/video contracts say photog will be here at this time, there till x PM - zeitgeist Nov 3, 11:27 2
    - Sure, that's what the explicit contract says. - ty97 Nov 3, 11:29 1
      - contracts offered by the vendor tend to weigh heavily on the vendor's side. though in your senario that would be misrepresentation to the point of - zeitgeist Nov 3, 11:38

But Hot Coffee taught me that there was no such thing as frivilous lawsuits anymore! - Name Withheld By Request Nov 3, 11:10 8
- If (I stress if) the contract for wedding photography included pictures of the last dance and bouquet toss, is that not breach of contract? - ty97 Nov 3, 11:17 7
  - 8 years after the fact? -- nm - Strongbad Nov 3, 11:18 6
    - Does breach of contract have a statute of limitations (I don't know the answer to that) -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 11:19 5
      - 6 years -- (link) - decline Nov 3, 11:21 1
        
        The NYT said he sued just before the statute of limitations was about to expire -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 11:22
      - a year or two? fraud is six or 7 years???? -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 3, 11:19 1
        
        Since a judge let the case go ahead, I'm guessing not, but it's not a topic I'm clear on. -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 11:21
      - No idea. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 3, 11:19
The lawsuit isn't left field but the request is ridiculous. -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 11:06 13
- especially given that they are divorced and he has no idea where his ex-wife even is. -- nm - decline Nov 3, 11:16
- A lawsuit for this, after eight years, is left field IMO -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 11:16 11
  - Ok, sure, it's a surprise eight years later. I mean the lawsuit itself isn't frivolous or bizarre (the damage request is) -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 11:18 7
    - Maybe the breach of contract part, no. Looks like he also sued for 'infliction of emotional distress' (yes). - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 11:22 6
      - It sounds like the judge is handling it well, actually. -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 11:23 5
        
        unless your the photographer who has already racked up $50k in legal bills (so he says) -- nm - decline Nov 3, 11:24 4
        
        The judges job it to work according to the law, not to limit the photographer's legal bills. - ty97 Nov 3, 11:27 3
        
        Legislators, judges... no lawyer culpability in this equation? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 11:32 1
        
        What lawyer culpability do you see? I didn't read any claims of misconduct. - ty97 Nov 3, 11:37
        
        IF the studio was members of PPA (pro photogs of america) they would have indemnity coverage for failures and ommissions and a law firm well versed in - zeitgeist Nov 3, 11:30
  - Unless they are filing for divorce. - Spawn Nov 3, 11:17 2
    - Heh - they did divorce after the suit was launched. -- (link) - Roger More Nov 3, 11:18 1
      - Yeah, I clicked after I posted. - Spawn Nov 3, 11:19
