ILR’s Ranks the 10 Most Ridiculous Lawsuits of the Year
An animal rights group suing on behalf of a monkey for the copyright ownership of his “selfies” tops the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform’s (ILR) survey of the “Top Ten Most Ridiculous Lawsuits of 2015.” Along with the list, ILR also released a highlight video spotlighting each of these outrageous lawsuits.
“These stories will make you laugh, but sadly, frivolous lawsuits are all too common,” said ILR President Lisa A. Rickard. “As a society we’re too quick to sue, and issues that could be settled outside of the courtroom result in expensive and unnecessary litigation and wasted time.”
The Top Ten Most Ridiculous Lawsuits of 2015 are the year’s ten most popular stories featured in monthly polls on FacesOfLawsuitAbuse.org – ILR’s public awareness campaign created to highlight absurd and ridiculous lawsuits against businesses, families and communities across America.
