CNN: “The lawsuit filed in Shariah court accuses the genie of leaving them threatening voicemails, stealing their cell phones and hurling rocks at them when they leave their house at night, said Al-Watan newspaper.” If they think the genie is harassing them now, wait till it gets a lawyer….
P.S. Above the Law: “The article doesn’t mention damages sought, but we hope it’s three wishes.” “Will the genie appear when summoned?” (@susanwake). “Good luck getting service. Is Robin Williams or Barbara Eden the registered agent?” (@JerseyTodd). And more details on the case from Lowering the Bar.

How do the Saudi courts effect service on genies?
Maybe service is not required. I’m more inerested in the question of what remedy are they seeking?
They never should have rubbed that lamp in the first place.
And if they win, how are they going to collect?
Bill Poser: Your question is one that reasonable Saudis are asking as well.

Of course, their attorney would get one of those wishes right off the top.
I believe the proper Arabic word for genie is Jinn.
