Bronto, If Walmart sues my client civilly for violation of their
policy, the law and the facts upon which they rely had better
fully support the merits of the case moving forward. If they
don't, I am going to ask for fees and costs when I get the case
kicked at Summary Judgment and then I am going to counter sue for
abuse of process. In this state, I do not need to prove they knew
that their case had no merit, only that it didn't.
