Kodak sued in camera fiasco

I read this a while ago on the register, and here an update that The Register have posted.

More than 200 people have contacted the lawyers (Beale and Company) leading the legal fight against Kodak and its disputed cut-price digital camera offer. The case is due to be heard in the spring.

They claim they are dissatisfied with the way they have been treated by Kodak and are eagerly awaiting the outcome of legal action against the camera company.

Should Beale and Company win the case then it's possible that thousands of people who took up the offer could benefit from the decision.

The case revolves around the pricing of a Kodak digital camera recently advertised on its Web site for Â£100.

More than 2,000 visitors jumped at the chance to snap up the camera, which usually retails at around Â£329.

Although the punters received emails from Kodak confirming their order the camera firm maintains this was an error and has refused to honour the sale.
