Weaver and 36 other plaintiffs quickly removed themselves from the suit, but four stayed on, and the judge ruled the next day in favor of Cinemark. The state court case cost $699,000, and the federal case is expected to be more.
I doubt that they will get their $700K back and I don't care if they did ... They apparently go by the European rules regarding such things.
Those 4 folks likely will be on the hook for that $700K. In theory. Reality? Can be different.
Generally when a judge tells ya to drop a case and their is liability if not done, then hey, you really like rolling that loaded dice !
I won't live in a state that follows the european rule ... for good reason.
I have been told several times by judges to settle...sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
In the real world, not fantasy legal theory world, IMO its harder for a plaintiff to get a win than it is for a prosecutor to obtain a guilty verdict. Our system's broke yo.
