It&#8217;s a long opinion that focuses on the details of class action rules, but it also provides information on what the students claim in the case.

The Times Online reports on Lord Justice Jackson&#8217;s lengthy report on the United Kingdom&#8217;s civil justice system. The upshot is that Lord [...]]]></description>

An affluent woman who has been bleaching her hair since childhood sues an upscale salon for botched hair treatment. She seeks $50,000 in humiliation damages, plus substantial out-of-pocket expenses for hair treatment and childcare.

The bill reportedly passed out of committee. Here&#8217;s the interesting thing. It passed out of committee on straight party lines. All the D&#8217;s voted in favor, and all R&#8217;s voted against.

Onward Oregon is pushing the bill. As I&#8217;ve noted before, giving consumers calorie and nutrition information is a great idea.
