> This is exactly the sort of thing that a civil suit is perfect for. ... who do you think decides the outcome of a civil suit?

  Well, you see, we setup a system of private judges who decide cases like this. And of course, we need to monitor those judges, so we create a system of judge reviewers that, of course, you pay for to figure out if the judge being used is a good judge. But then you also need to make sure the reviewers are legitimate, so we make a private system of meta reviewers to make sure the reviewers are good. And of course, in case the parties can't agree on the judges we put up a polymarket bet so we can crowd source which of the judges should be picked. And if that's disputed then we go out and hire a private police enforcement force to make sure the other party is complying with our desire for the right judges. Of course, we arm them just to be sure. /s

  >... who do you think decides the outcome of a civil suit? The overwhelming majority of civil suits are settled out of court by an agreement between the parties involved.

    But not without the court. The court is deeply involved in the pretrial process. The court's rulings will influence if and how much a settlement there will be.

    The reason people settle out of court is because the threat of having it decided by court. No threat no settlement.
