Irvine World News: Senator Tom Harman Receives Champion Against Lawsuit Abuse Award from CALA
Friday, 16 October 2009 03:50

Orange County Register and Irvine World News Political Commentator Adam Probolsky noted that last week was Lawsuit Abuse Awareness Week, and Irvine’s state Sen. Tom Harman received a special honor, the Champion of Against Lawsuit Abuse award from CALA. Here is what Adam had to say:

"I asked the senator about the issue. He said, "Stopping lawsuit abuse is essential to revitalizing our state’s economy and has been a goal of mine since I took office. Frivolous lawsuits drive businesses out of California and do little to make injured plaintiffs whole." Harman was a co-author of legislation that reformed the misuse of the Americans with Disabilities Act and makes it tougher for abusive litigants to file lawsuits on based on technical violations."

Sacramento Business Journal: Restaurant Squeezed Out

Travis Hausauer, the owner of the Squeeze Inn burger joint, had an op-ed published in the Sacramento Business Journal. Hausauer said:

"... I now share a concern for other small-business owners who are threatened by shakedowns, sometimes multiple times. Sadly, absent any legislative reforms from our state Legislature, small-business owners have come to accept lawsuit abuse as just another cost of doing business in California."
