Justice delayed - a true story.

We'll call him Peter -- for reasons that will become clear we can't use his real name. Peter runs his own business, a temporary employment agency. Joan, one of his sales people, quit. But, before she left, she photocopied all Peter's client files. Joan started up her own temporary employment agency and began taking Peter's clients away by undercutting his prices. Peter sued. He got a court order forcing Joan to cease and desist. Joan ignored it. Lawyers for both sides argued back and forth. Delay followed delay. Two years went by before Peter was able to get Joan into a court. The judge ordered both sides to settle out of court. But, Joan then declared bankruptcy and Peter got nothing -- except his own lawyer's bill of $350,000. Peter is a sadder and poorer man. And there are a growing number of others like him, frustrated by the justice system. They're starting to think it might be better to take the law into their own hands, even if it means hiring large men with baseball bats.
