I once sued Fedex and won. I was representing my company, called StealthMachines. A computer which had been deposited out of my care was lost. The magistrate at the time helped me out. The defendant, being also without an attorney per the rules of small claims in Colorado, had his fancy corporate attorney prior prepare the jurisdictional argument that because the package was to cross state boundaries I had filed my case in the wrong courthouse.
Well, as it turns out the package was never scanned in due to a bug in the Fedex printing protocol which caused for duplicate labels to permeate onto two distinct packages. To my knowledge this bug was never fixed. Such as it is, the right hand knows not what the left hand doeth, an aside? (I’ve been meaning to write an article on the tyranny of corporate policy, or agents which are not human, and agents who are not domestic breaking the law by proxy, while corporate policy is permitted to trump Law regularly in the corporate world due The People’s safeguards failing them. Press 1 to hold.)
As it turns out, having never been scanned in the package never demonstrably left the state, now did it?
The gentleman who had received my package went out of business. It was the driver’s fault, clearly, I saw her there as I was leaving, but Fedex must have passed it on to him in kind for his honesty. Wrong.
People don’t understand how margins work in business. A $3000 computer going missing is nothing to the corporate mecca’s, it can be everything for making payroll to a small business.
I wouldn’t have felt comfortable during the Biden admin in finding relief for a number of grievances which accrue to date. I might dip my toe in the water yet, I’m not sure, as right now it seems still too cold for a swim. It sure would be nice to find relief. I yearn for the healthy judiciary.
Now jurisdiction is important. You wouldn’t want to invoke criminal jurisdiction in a civil court nor civil jurisdiction in criminal court, isn’t that right? When the courts began allowing the one jurisdiction to bleed into the other, it was wrong, was it not? Jurisdiction MATTERS, while the incorrect or intentionally incorrect presumption of jurisdiction shouldn’t ever be a factor per Rule of Law. I yearn for the healthy judiciary.
