Krit,

Has that been confirmed that he is not getting his appointment renewed? I was hearing that it was up for review and highly likely that he would be fired, but I never heard more.

I’m sure he’ll sue the board that is reviewing him if he is fired.

At least the plaintiff in the case will pay a price. He is losing his position as an administrative law judge.
The defendants’ lawyers shouldn’t have dropped the attempt to force Pearson to pay their legal costs. They assumed, wrongly, that he would do the decent thing, and drop the appeal, when his previous actions would preclude any chance of his doing the right thing.

Pearson sued under one of DC’s consumer laws- perhaps it needs to be rewritten, to prevent future abuses.

This case should have never gotten this far. Sometimes the law works against reason, but what do you do?

Based on Pearson’s history, including the excessive litigation he put his wife through during their divorce, the man seems clearly unbalanced, so I’m curious as to why he is still a judge anyway.

Whatever happened to judicial temperment. Of course he’ll lose his appeal and any judge with half a brain will, again, charge him with the other side’s fees, but if he is still a judge, other people will be victims of his unreasonableness(is that a word?).

Since they’re running a different dry cleanering shop in a different neighborhood, they’re doing okay.

Maybe the loser is the neighborhood that no longer has a dry cleaner.

Certainly, the DC judicial system that let this nonsense go on for so long is ultimately to blame.
