This is the first time I've heard an argument for the crazy high cost of the US court system.
Realistically though the BATNA is no lawsuit at all because the plaintiff can't afford it.
- ThrustVectoring 8y agoLawyers will take strong cases against deep-pocketed defendants on contingency, obviating that need.
- jdsully 8y agoThat's only for the most obvious of cases lacking any nuance. Further in such cases the lawyers take much of the recovered so the plaintiff collects pennies on the dollar - while risking their professional reputation. Its a matter of degree, Companies know they can screw employees under a certain amount where its not worth it to challenge them in court. With court costs as high as they are that amount is in the tens of thousands of dollars.
