jhankins 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.

Beavah 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadenP 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 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 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred8033 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeptic 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blancmange 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartHumphries 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
