Gov Perry of TX Calls For Expanded Lawsuit Reform

As we all know our legal system in this country is burdened by frivolous lawsuits and other abuses.

Governor Perry is calling on his state to make some immediate reforms:

• Creating an early dismissal option for frivolous lawsuits;

• Ensuring victims of frivolous lawsuits do not bear the financial burden of defending themselves through the creation of a "loser pays" system;

• Ensuring new laws cannot create causes of action unless expressly established by the Legislature; and

• Setting up expedited trials and limited discovery for lawsuits with claims between $10,000 and $100,000.
