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."
