Man Clears His Name Amid Allegations That He Kicked the Bucket

 

Poland: 18 months after being charged for allegedly kicking a neighbour's bucket and damaging it 55-year-old Waldemar Wilk has finally prevailed with the case being dropped by the court on appeal.

The original case featured video evidence claimed to be of the bucket being used after the incident which could not be dated and expert testimony as to whether a bucket could be damaged by being kicked.

The judge presiding over the case suggested that legal action shouldn't have been pursued over alleged damage to a bucket worth under £3 in the first place.

The action should have never been brought.

If this guy needs buckets, I´ve got a bunch I´ll sell him for a little over 2 pounds.

  Got me Ix!  
 
I was waiting to see it be about a man who they said was dead and isn´t.

Court for a bucket that´s worth less than an hours minimum pay? After paying all the fee´s to file and expert testamony, not including the courts time wasted. I have heard people taking someone to court and saying it is the principle but this is a little crazy.

reminded me of Mark Twain´s famous quote, "The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated", when word had prematurely spread that he had died.
