Broadway Theater Stands Up to Serial Suer And Wins

www.forbes.com: The Ambassador Theatre Group has proven, once again, that the best defense is a good offense.

Last year, Evelyn Castillo sued the Broadway landlord in federal court over its policy blocking guests from bringing outside food into its theaters. She complained that the practice discriminates against individuals with diabetes, and violates the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Serial suing is a problem in this country. I don't think it is an overly large problem, but it is an act committed by unworthy leeches on our society, whose only purpose and existence is subsisting off of the hard work of others by exploiting the Kafkaesque nightmare of law and regulation in America. This article reports the suit of Evelyn Castillo against almost every Broadway theatre for not adequately accommodating her diabetes restrictions with their food and drink policy. I have no idea whether Evelyn Castillo is a serial suer in this case, but the fact that she sued almost every single Broadway theatre in this venture seems to point towards it. I understand that private litigation serves a purpose in this country but sometimes people really take it too far. I have personally read several stories about serial suers leveraging and exploiting the americans with disabilities act literally only to make money. These people trawl around rural towns looking. For businesses that might not have an adequate ramp, or insufficient handicap parking and sir these businesses into Oblivion.
