This would be horrible, in my view.
A legal system with selective outrage, fueled by monetary (or other power/political) incentives -- is a sure way to a broken and unfair justice system (which, in turn, would have disastrous consequences).
To make a common person equivalent, in legal power, to a corporation -- (so that a common consumer can fight effectively against a potential injustice),
what simply needs to be done -- is legislating a common contract law framework, so that a corporation cannot choose to a specific/tailored contract terms/escape clauses when providing service/product to a consumer.
(same for environmental accountability).
So that when I buy products (computers, health services, cars, etc) -- The agreement and liabilities I accept, are the same regardless of the business I created the contract with.
This way, reliance on mega bucks lawyers to 'favorably interpret' and to confuse jury -- will be eliminated.
