They say Rome wasn’t built in a day... well neither are court cases. And probably the longest case in world history lasted a whopping 246 years! It pitted the tailors of Paris against second-hand clothes dealers. Beginning in 1530, the dispute was finally resolved in 1776 when the tailor corporations were disbanded and, as a result, the trial was abandoned. All that work for nothing! Fortunately, these days, only 8% of proceedings last more than two years.
