So, sue me

Today, I came across a number of lawsuits in the news.
Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen is being sued for £70m after a Palestinian activist claimed his film, Bruno, “ruined his life”.

Sasha J. Blair-Goldensohn, a computer scientist who was employed at Google, is involved in a lawsuit, as well.
A 33-year-old man who suffered brain and spinal injuries in July when a heavy limb fell from a tree in Central Park and struck him has sued the city and the Central Park Conservancy for negligence.http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/12/04/man-hurt-by-falling-tree-limb-in-central-park-files-suit/

A daughter is suing a cell phone company after her mother died in a car accident.
Jennifer Smith's 61-year-old mother was killed last year in Oklahoma City by a driver talking on a cell phone. Now, the New York Times reports Smith is suing both the company that provided the driver's phone and his wireless service.

Finally, I came across a lawsuit which was filed a number of months ago by a Jewish couple.
An Orthodox Jewish couple are suing neighbours at their holiday flat in Dorset because new motion sensors installed in the flat’s communal hallway force them to break the laws of the Sabbath.
