Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2909972, member: 8215"] You're not the only one. But this is America, where Litigation is akin to winning the lottery. On top of that, Lodge did not appear in court to defend himself, so the victims were essentially able to name their dollar figure, unopposed. Looking at the legal ramifications, Lodge being absent may actually help his case (it may have even been a deliberate tactic, as opposed to simply avoiding the situation), as attending the hearing would have legitimised his involvement in the civil suit and therefore making him a willing party in the result. As it stands, Lodge being absent may make it more difficult or even impossible for them to have the result upheld and enforced by Australian counterparts. Sort of. [/QUOTE]
