The judge who lost a $54 million lawsuit against his former dry cleaner is fighting their attempts to collect their attorneys’ fees from him.

He’s challenges the defense’s motion to recover the $82,907.50 that the Chung family owes to defend themselves against Pearson’s 2005 lawsuit and the ensuing two years of litigation.

But while the Chungs were off the hook for the $54 million – lowered from $67 million – they incurred tens of thousands of dollars in attorneys’ fees.

I hope they get every penny.
