Bader v. General Motors, et al. was the largest lawsuit in history. It started when Mr. Inez Walton Bader sued most major automobile corporations for polluting America on April 14, 1971. Bader, a New York City lawyer (and still is to this day) acted as his own lawyer and sued for $675 trillion (equal to 3,000 times the cost of the annual nation budget at the time). The lawsuit was dismissed as frivolous, and Bader was forced to pay $1,000 in fines and had his legal license suspended.
