Dear MEL Topic Readers,

A judge sides with parents and rules their 30-year-old son must move out

Lawsuits are quite a popular method to say or demand something in the US. According to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, there were over 24,000 new civil filings in March 2018 alone. The most common cases are pharmaceutical personal injury and product liability issues where lawyers make the most money. It seems too easy to file a case in America where there are over a million of lawyers waiting to assist people for legal proceedings.

But there was quite an unusual case even in the US. Parents in the state of New York sued their son for not leaving their house despite the written notices. Yes, it is customary for grownup children to move out of their parent’s house. And for the parents in this case, a healthy 30-year-old son’s not working and sitting at home for years seems to have been intolerable. So, three months after the first notice, they sued him to move out, and the judge supported their claim.

A Chinese writer states,When there are too many policemen, there can be no liberty. When there are too many soldiers, there can be no peace. Where there are too many lawyers, there can be no justice.” 

Enjoy reading and think what it’s like to be sued by your own parents for not moving out of their house.
