This is what happens when you have attorneys and courts devoted exclusively to finding ways to undermine and erode agreements to meet "politically correct" goals rather than enforce contracts as written and supported on rational bases from years of experience and underwriting. There no longer seem to be room in our courts for common sense, pragmatism or mundane enforcement of written contracts. The excitement and the action are in breaking these traditional standards down, and our courts and plaintiffs' bar are seemingly up to the challenge. Unfortunately, the rest of us must pay, not just in dollars, but the erosion of our competitve markets.
