The judge must have had a conflict of interest!

Denver International Airport Class Action Dismissed
Denver, CO: (Jun-26-07) A class action lawsuit was filed
against the city and Denver International Airport (DIA)
alleging that travelers and employees at the airport were
exposed to extensive mold and fungi contamination. The
action was filed by two United Airlines employees, Terri
Crandall and Joann Hubbard, who claimed they experienced
pneumonia, headaches, nausea, shortness of breath and
bronchitis beginning in 1995. The suit further stated that
by 1999, Crandall and Hubbard each believed their illnesses
were being caused by environmental contamination at the new
airport. Crandall and Hubbard, who were employed at DIA as
customer service representatives, claimed that during the
periods when they were being treated for their ailments and
were away from Concourse B their symptoms disappeared. But
problems returned when they went back to work on Concourse
B.

The court stated that Denver officials had not found a
major mold issue at the airport and ordered a dismissal of
the class action suit. The Colorado Supreme Court said that
the women who brought the lawsuit failed to file their
notice of a claim with Denver within the 180-day time
period required by law and the women didn't identify any
injuries suffered during the 180-day period. [DENVER POST:
