I Dream of Suing Genie

We’ve seen both God and Sa Tan as litigants before the courts in the past year.

Well the absurdity continues with a new suit out of Saudi Arabia against a jinn, commonly known in the Western world as a “genie” of sorts.

The offending party allegedly harassed the plaintiffs with threatening voice mails, theft of cellular phones, and throwing rocks at windows.

What does make this case unique is that the entire family is behind the suit – perhaps a case of mass hysteria.

No word yet on whether the genie has filed a statement of defence.
