TV's is expensive in Kentucky.

Post by genlock »

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A TV set is at the center of a decade-long legal fight in central Kentucky that shows no signs of ending anytime soon.

The combatants are Lexington cardiologist Dermot Halpin and his ex-wife Hilary Halpin, who are suing former Lexington electronics shop owner Bill Hardy and his wife, Susan Hardy.

The Halpins bought a $43,161.69 home entertainment system that includes the TV from Bill Hardy in 2002. The Halpins paid an additional $4,264.19 to have it installed. According to the Halpins, the system didn’t work properly. They maintained that the TV was defective and not high definition, as they’d been told.

The Halpins sued in 2003, and the situation snowballed from there.
According to the Lexington Herald-Leader, there have been two jury trials in Fayette Circuit Court and several opinions and rulings handed down by the Kentucky Court of Appeals and Kentucky Supreme Court. The battle has even spilled over into federal bankruptcy court.

The case has consumed hundreds of thousands of dollars and, one attorney said, legal paperwork that stacks six feet high.
