Law Humor

By Judge Jerry Buchmeyer

From John T. Flynn of Atlanta, Ga. (Smith, Currie & Hancock), this exchange between his client "and opposing counsel in a dispute where [his] client, as the developer of a series of multi-family residential units, had not responded to a letter from the defendants requesting payment for certain money they believed due."

Q. If you would look at Exhibit 12, please, for a second, did you receive this letter on or about February 21st?

A. I believe so, yes.

Q. Did you review it?

A. Yes.

Q. Did you respond to it?

A. No.

Q. Did you purposely not respond to it?

A. I did not respond to it.

Q. That was a conscious decision on your part?

A. I was conscious at the time.

Q. I don't mean whether you were awake. But did you consciously decide not to respond to it, or did you just forget?

A. No, I did not forget it.
