There are an inordinate amount of bizarre lawsuits each and every year that most members of the general public would not even be aware of. We may not like to think about it, but we're all in constant threat of legal action – any fool can come off the street with an outlandish claim. It's an excellent idea to always be protected by a lawyer you can trust and rely on – that's where Glenn Duker solicitor comes in.
Occasionally, an amusing story will appear – often from our American friends, specifically those in Tinsel town. Often these stories highlight the fact that random, almost inconceivable lawsuits can appear from anywhere.
Take this one for example: A Detroit woman named Sarah Deming filed a suit against American cinema distributor Film District. Deming claimed that they had wronged her by falsely advertising the 2011 cult film 'Drive,' starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan.
The film was described as follows – a mysterious Hollywood stuntman, mechanic and getaway driver lands himself in trouble when he helps out his neighbour. Deming liked the sound of that, and was even more excited after watching the car chase-fuelled, action-packed movie trailer. After sitting down and watching the film – a slow-burn drama with moments of explosive violence (though not enough action, apparently) – Deming was deeply unsatisfied. She claimed that the advertisements had promised a thrill-ride akin to something from the 'Fast & Furious' franchise.
What did she want for her troubles? Her money back, an apology – but wait, she wasn't done! Deming wanted to roll the whole thing into a class action suit and target every film distributor in an attempt to put an end to studios advertising a movie as one thing and delivering another.
This is just one demonstration of why you need someone like Glenn Duker lawyer in your corner. You may not run a big Hollywood studio, but you're just as open to frivolous lawsuits from all walks of life.
