Stupid lawsuits

I heard about this one on NPR a while ago, you know, the judge suing a dry cleaner for 67 million for his pair of pants?

I don't know diddly about dry cleaning, but what would make a pair of pants worth 67 million? What was with this judge, you'd think he'd know better, wouldn't you? Can anyone more legally in tune than me, explain to me why this was a legit case to press? I know it had to be more than just a lost pair of pants.

Today the dry cleaner won the case.

I wonder if the judge will appeal? I can't imagine, no matter how you slice it, to me, basically uninformed, he looks ridiculous.
