jhankins 10 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 In some ways it's a double standard. Tico and Mazzuca both attended the Jamboree and don't meet the height/weight requirements. How many other leaders wished to attend or volunteer their time and money to work the event but couldn't? Oh wait, they got to special treatment. Link to post Share on other sites
Beavah 205 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Whats really amazing is so farthere are 182 filings of one kind of another and they are not even through with the discovery phase. Just standard tactics for a firm pushing for a bigger settlement. Make continuing the litigation look more costly, eh? Beavah Link to post Share on other sites
BadenP 93 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Personally I think there is a world of difference between going on a 20 mile hike in a wilderness area and going to jamboree, especially for adult leaders who spend most of jambo playing babysitter and looking around at exhibits.

The Blancmange 67 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 For those interested, it appears that this case was settled recently. http://dockets.justia.com/docket/florida/flsdce/1:2010cv22236/360854/ As is common in cases of this sort, the terms of the settlement are not disclosed.

skeptic 992 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Not really understanding legal jargon, I am confused by your statement about settlement. Doesn't it say it is dismissed with prejudice, then finally dismissed and closed? Link to post Share on other sites
fred8033 1591 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 "with prejudice" just means they can't sue for the same incidence. They settled so the incident can't be re-opened in court. "without prejudice" means they could go to court again for the same incident. Link to post Share on other sites
skeptic 992 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 But it says dismissed, not settled. Does that not mean the case was simply determined without merit, or not good enough for trial, since jury was requested? Link to post Share on other sites
The Blancmange 67 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 One of the entries before that says it settled at mediation, which is an alternative dispute resolution technique. There is also another document filed called a stipulation to dismiss, which is an indication that there was a settlement. Link to post Share on other sites
BartHumphries 10 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Once you start it, the ball is rolling. When the people involved settle the case themselves, then they say so to the judge and he dismisses the (now pointless) case. Link to post Share on other sites
