One needs to take Internet postings with huge grains of salt.
I would invite people who like to take snippets of information into the realm of investigative journalism and let them discuss what does get published and what doesn't.
I also advise people to not put a lot of faith in things they read in simple "dismissed" rulings, particularly as the years go by.
Let me provide you with an example.
A collector, notorious for pursuing debtors without regard to their actually owning the debts, finally ran into a case where a potentially adverse ruling would have opened the doors to dozens, if not hundreds of other similar cases.
Instead of facing the threat of having a ruling on the matters of law against them, they simply failed to respond to a deadline and let the case be dismissed without prejudice.
That's part of how the game is played. Doesn't sound fair at all, but it works both ways. Debt collector attorneys aren't the cream of the crop. They live on volume, not substance. They will take shortcuts. They make mistakes. Sometimes they get caught. Sometimes they just let things die rather than expend effort. Other times they get so far off into the edge that some Judge finally decides they need to be whacked around (the Katz case in Michigan is one example).
Prosecutors in traffic cases also have a job to do which involves clearing as many cases as fast as possible. Despite what some would have you believe, the NUMBER of cases is as politically important as the potetial revenue from the fines.
The process of chosing what to pursue and what not to often has more to do with available resources than matters of law and evidence.
The system is overloaded. The more overloaded it gets the stranger things will get.
