Garriott v. NCsoft Corporation
Earlier today, Richard Garriott filed a lawsuit against the NCsoft Corporation at the Texas Western District Court's Austin Office. The nature of the suit is Torts - Property - Other Fraud, and the cause being Diversity-Fraud, in the jurisdiction of Diversity, for the amount for $24,000,000.00. Yes, you read that correctly, TWENTY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS. Of course, that's US Denominations, so let's say he really just wants a crate of astronaut ice cream, on good authority of Liquid-X.
For further explanation, read the whole story!
The cause, Diversity-Fraud (see that keyword again?), with the jurisdiction of Diversity, is fairly simple. Richard Garriott is requesting that a U.S. (federal) district court to hear the case. Diversity simply means, in this matter, that the parties involved in the lawsuit are of different states. Not state of mind, though that is wholly debatable at this point. This is merely geographical in nature. These cases aim to be heard before a jury of peers, though obviously, a judge can decide beforehand if this is necessary.
Of course, the last portion of this equation is the amount. Twenty-four MILLION dollars! Maybe no astronaut ice cream, yet regardless, that is a massive amount of money. Enough for almost anyone to pull a double-take. Garriott either must have felt severely wronged or slighted to decide upon such a large sum. There is always the possibility that in his contract with NCsoft, Garriott included a stipulation for such a matter. We simply do not know at this point.
Richard Garriott vs NCsoft Corporation, steel cage match! Let the battle begin!
