2008-07-15 20:11:00 Libertarian Presidential Candidate Bob Barr Will File Lawsuit Against Oklahomahttp://www.ksbitv.com/h-ome/25481589.html A 2008 presidential hopeful speaks out against Oklahoma's election policies. The Libertarian Party's Presidential nominee, Bob Barr, will file a lawsuit to overturn the state's ballot access requirement that would put his name on the November ballot.

Rob Lowe Is Going To Lose His Lawsuit
2008-06-07 20:29:00 Rob Lowe is suing his former nanny for violating a confidentiality agreement. The nanny, Jessica Gibson, countersued Rob and his wife Sheryl for sexual harassment, and a second former nanny joined by also filing a sexual harassment suit. Apparently the confidentiality agreement, that Jessica claims she never signed, has gone M.I.A. A dismissal motion has been filed on Jessica's behalf that says, "In effect, Ms. Gibson has been sued for breach of a nonexistent contract." Lowe's attorneys only said, "We'll be responding to this in court, which is the appropriate way." A source close to the Lowe family said, "Everyone who works for Rob knows that confidentiality agreements must be signed. There are plenty people who can verify that Jessica signed one. But after her employment ended, the papers went missing." The next hearing is scheduled for June 19. Photos: WENN

2008-05-15 18:35:00 Fisker fights back in Tesla lawsuit Fisker Coachbuild is fighting back a lawsuit brought against it by Tesla as the Henrik Fisker-run company has asked a California court for arbitration. The request was filed on Tuesday, May 13, with a hearing scheduled for June 11. Tesla filed its lawsuit against Fisker on April 14.

Fisker has taken 500 pre-orders for the plug-in hybrid and is preparing to unveil the car's production interior at November's Los Angeles Auto Show.
