In the
US, you can, and people do, file suit for anything regardless of common
law, contracts, or common sense. Pre-nuptual agreements can be
challenged. Contractual agreements can be challenged. Last will and
testaments can be challenged. We've got state governments suing
tobacoo companies for smoke related illnesses even though every package
carries a mandatory warning that smoking IS dangerous to your health.
We've got people who sue McDonalds because they carelessly spill
coffee on themselves and file claim that the coffee was too hot. Anna
Nicole had a written will from her former 80(something) year old hubby that
was challenged by other blood
relatives.
I think Ray's
point was well taken for those of us in the US. You should seriously
consider any ramifications that might occur if you sell or even give away your
sub, and it fails to perform flawlessly. It's not because the person
you sell it to, or their family, has a valid claim against you that will stand
up in court. It's the fact that it will cost you a lot of money to respond
to that challenge and have a court (or jury) determine that the claim was
invalid. Ray appears unwilling to put himself in a position that would
even require him to respond to such a challenge. I'm there as well.
But others may be willing to take that
risk.
