Encinitas Installs Queue Device for Prospective Plaintiffs

As the defendant in an unusually high number of lawsuits, the city of Encinitas has installed a device at City Hall to maintain order among parties pursuing information for possible legal action against the city.

After demands for documents and interviews became frenzied, the city found it necessary to impose a system to preserve civility among residents and others seeking information that could be used in lawsuits.

Put simply, the city said get in line, stay in line, don’t cut in, and don’t rub us the wrong way or we’ll make life more difficult for you.

Reports are that decorum has been restored since the queue device was installed, although some prospective plaintiffs have grumbled about wait times.
