To Sue Yourself as Others Sue You

An appellate court in Utah recently ruled that a woman appointed personal representative of her deceased husband’s estate could sue herself on behalf of her husband’s sole heir, herself, for negligently causing the motor vehicle accident that caused her husband’s death.  The ABA Journal story is here.

The appellate decision is wholly insensitive to the absurdity of its conclusion.  Of course, the purpose of such litigation where the only interested participants are me, myself and I, is to take money from an insurer for the benefit of all concerned.

So much for the adversarial process.
