The world's craziest legal cases....

I'm editing some international law materials to do with product liability and tort (negligence).

This case caught my eye...for some reason!: 

in relation to the question of causation (did the thing cause the problem)... the courts are sometimes asked to look at whether the damage or injury was a consequence of the excessive use of a product:

For example, the courts said 'no' to that question in a German case to do with the excessive consumption of sweets

• where a judge claimed his daily consumption of chocolate bars caused his diabetes and therefore sued the chocolate bar producer (district court of Mönchengladbach, decision of April 24 2002, 3 O 217/01)........ !
