High Court Hears Tom Hanks’ Dispute

The latest act in a nine-year battle between Tom Hanks, his wife Rita Wilson and the high-end contractor Storey Construction played out before the Idaho Supreme Court on Friday. The case revolves around the couple’s sprawling Sun Valley-area home, built by Storey Construction starting in 2000. Hanks and Wilson say the company did shoddy workmanship that wasn’t immediately discovered, leaving them out more than $2 million. The construction company, meanwhile, contends the couple is just out for revenge because they lost an earlier arbitration matter over the villa/AP. More here.

Question: Would you have pursued a suit like this for 9 years?
