Ski lawsuit shows everything “wrong” with our legal system – Deseret News

In a recent sequence of the “first podcast in the world”, Gwyneth Paltrow opened her skiing accident in Park City in 2016 and the subsequent procedures for civil action and described the experience “everything that is wrong with our legal system”.

After a collision on the slopes in the Deer Valley Resort, the retired optician Terry Sanderson Paltrow and her son’s ski instructor sued for 3.1 million dollars, but the judge initially dismissed his lawsuit.

Both parties claimed that the other was to blame. Sanderson again sued damages of 300,000 US dollars, and Paltrow counted 1 US dollar.

After an 8-day trial in March 2023, it was found that Paltrow was not to blame for the incident.

“It was ridiculous, and I have to say that the idea that someone is going into her back and hitting her and then suing her? I said:” This is all that is wrong with our legal system. ”

At the stand, Paltrow described the moments that led to the crash according to the Daily Mail.

“I was skiing and two skis came between my skis what my legs pressed apart, and then a body pressed against me. And there was a very strange grunting sound, so my brain tried what happened,” said Paltrow.

The Podcast hosts said: “The best thing that has the best thing about seeing the case was” the internal eye role all the time about the fact that they were there at all. “

“It was ridiculous,” said Paltrow. “That’s why I felt that I had to fight against it. I thought: ‘I won’t be shaken here.’ I don’t do that, ”she said.

In her Instagram history, Paltrow explained after completing the case why she fought against the lawsuit. “I felt that a false claim affected my integrity,” she wrote.

She also thanked the jury and the judge of the 3rd district court, Kent Robert Holmberg, for “her thoughtfulness in this case”.

Sanderson later said the lawsuit was “absolutely not” worth it because its own legal costs exceed the six -digit range per CBS.

The attempt was later transformed into a musical called “I wish you all the best: the Gwyneth Paltrow Ski-Strial Musical”.
