People (or their lawyers) who have a pattern of frivolous suits should pay the costs of dealing with a frivolous suit. People can bring great stress and costs using the legal system. Its not just a tool for justice, whether it is used by the rich or by the poor. Everybody that uses the legal system should think twice about whether their suit is truly warranted. Of course, there should be standards by which this is judged. And damages should not ruin those bringing suits. Its not even necessary to me that all costs be covered, but that some real cost be felt by those bringing the suit. 5 or 10% of one's annual income seems not unreasonable.
