It shouldn't need to be like that but it is the case.
It has nothing to do with the merits of the case itself the tactic a company like Google employs is to just file reams of paperwork, discovery, delays, motion for this and that and each of them have to be considered and discussed and pushes thibgs out at least another day or two. They then use this tactic to extend cases into years.
Although a lawyer will work for a certain cut of the reward they need to eat in the meantime and won't because the case isn't being completed, and isn't going to trial, plus it eats up an enormous amount of time and effort for the lawyer involved cutting into other potential cases.
Eventually you have to call it quits and Google wins because the case never went to trial because Googles legal army was able to delay everything by abusing the legal system.
In short as the PHB from Dilbert once said "we're using the law to keep justice away."
That's what's happening right now.
- gpm 5y agoYou have an unrealistically negative view of the legal system. Google cannot just file unlimited amounts of paperwork and expect either the judge of the opposing attorneys to review it, if they tried the judge might well sanction them, but also it would just cost Google a lot of money for no benefit. You can go look at cases involving Last Name v Alphabet on the recap archive, they are typically represented by a single attorney. Below are a few examples, I manually filtered out pro-se actions with no attorneys, and class actions, but other then that just went through the list of cases looking for cases with titles fitting the format: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/8060229/parties/el-mawardy-v-alphabet-inc/ https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/8060229/parties/el-mawa... https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6237000/parties/gottlieb-v-alphabet-inc/ https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6237000/parties/gottlie... https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/8054663/parties/olson-v-google-inc/ https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/8054663/parties/olson-v... https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/8067002/parties/lee-v-google-llc/ https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/8067002/parties/lee-v-g... https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/8133814/parties/kaufman-v-google-llc/ https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/8133814/parties/kaufman...
- TomSwirly 5y ago> You have an unrealistically negative view of the legal system. Your links would be more convincing if some of these were successful, completely cases. The question is not, can you sue Google/Alphabet without a team of lawyers, but can you _successfully_ sue them.
