OK, I can accept that. As much as I hate to admit it, as more of the facts of the case are presented on this forum (assuming that they are indeed facts) it's beginning to make some sense. Without crafting another verbose response, let me just say that yours and Mapcase's posts seem to indicate that the court agreed that serving a beverage at a temperature that can cause the type of burn that Stella suffered is reasonably dangerous. I would tend to agree.
u can get money if you burn yourself?

A simple English law about loser pays would end a great many of these sillyass lawsuits.

Pure water at 1 atmosphere pressure, yes. Changes in pressure and/or purity will shift the boiling point and/or freezing point.

That is the only intelligent thing you said in your whole post. Did someone else feed you that line? It doesn't fit with the rest of what you said...

I blame the plaintiff(s). As we continue with a society where personal responsibility is optional, fault is always elsewhere, and there exists a conundrum of law and regulation that requires ever constant additions to patch up the "loopholes" and move toward a more "civilized" existence, people will continue attempting to recoup their losses through whatever means possible.

Inside information ??
Yes, there are some lame ones. The McDonalds coffee suit was not one of them, though. The coffee is supposed to be kept at 180 degrees, but that particular restaurant was keeping it at 220 degrees because it would keep longer at the higher temp. That extra 40 degrees is the difference between "wow, that was hot" and "Wow, where did my skin go?". Knowing the details is important if you are going to be passing judgement.
Just wondering where you got your infromation. Several links such as
http://www.lectlaw.com/files/cur78.htm says the coffee at that McDonalds was 180-190 degrees. There are several others, but they say essentially the same as this one. As you stated "knowing the details ......"

I still like the commercial where Jack poured hot coffee in the guys lap and followed it with cold orange juice and asked which one was better for breakfast.
On as side note though I kind of like what Old Billy said about lawyers.
