"[A] greedy individual, with the advantage of a legal education and a claimed litigation experience, has initiated and maintained this lawsuit"

By Intellectual Property Law, Esq.

ADVERTISEMENTS
The LegalTimes blog reports that the D.C. Circuit has upheld a district court ruling that "[a]n art dealer ... must pay more than $630,000 in attorney fees and expenses to Christie?s for a suit [the district court] judge said only served to harrass the auction house after it refused to sell a painting."

The facts are a bit, um, unusual. According to the LegalTimes, the plaintiff, a Stanford Law School graduate named Robert Fastov, initially sent Christie?s "a 79-page, single-spaced letter?with hundreds of attachments?threatening litigation" and followed that up with a 225-page complaint. The lower court decision noted that "anyone with a modicum of common sense would have realized [the lawsuit] was without merit."
