Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 (1961), that the Supreme Court made the rule germane to the states.

Pearson then claimed that the found pants were not his because they had cuffs, and sued the Chungs for $67 million. Issues, Laws and Verdict Roy Pearson sued the Chungs claiming that the Chungs violated D.C. consumer protection laws (Consumer Protection Procedures Act or CPPA). Specifically, that the Chungs committed fraud because they did not live up to the promise of a “Satisfaction Guaranteed” sign hanging in the store (Bartnoff, 2007, p. 1). In her “Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law” on the case, Judge Bartnoff (2007) wrote that Pearson expected, “an unconditional warranty that required the defendants to honor any claim by any customer, without limitation, based on the customer’s determination of whatever would make that customer ”satisfied.”” (p. 1) Included in the suit were claims that he had been subject to “mental suffering, inconvenience and discomfort” at the hands of the Chungs (O’Rourke, 2007 p.10). So Pearson sued for common law fraud and violations of the CPPA, but did he present enough evidence to support his claims in court?

EJIL 1999 ............................................................................................. Immunity versus Human Rights: The Pinochet Case Andrea Bianchi* Abstract In the Pinochet case the former head of state of a foreign country has been held accountable for the first time before a municipal court for acts of torture allegedly committed while he was in his post. The unprecedented character of the case causes one to ask whether municipal courts may properly complement international tribunals in the enforcement of international criminal law, and, if so, to what extent a plea of immunity or non-justiciability may be available. The divide within the House of Lords on the interpretation of the scope of application of jurisdictional immunities to foreign heads of state as regards crimes of international law hardly hides a more profound conflict based on the different perception of what values and interests should be accorded priority in contemporary international law. This article argues that neither jurisdictional immunities nor act of state and other doctrines of judicial self-restraint are consistent with the notion of crimes of international law and that the quest for normative coherence should induce a reappraisal of the relationship between human rights law and the law of jurisdictional immunities.
