Now the Appeal

Spring 2002. It took about a year, in Spring 2002, for the Maryland appellate court to hear Dad's appeal in his best price lawsuit against the Oil Company.

Six Months for This?

Six months. That is how long it took for Judge Boyle to render his verdict in Dad's best price lawsuit against the Oil Company. The judge rules in favor of the Oil Company. He did not believe that Dad's lawsuit had any merit to it. In his opinion, he wrote that Dad wanted to have cake and eat it,... Sign in to see full entry.
