The problem is that money buys lawyers, and you need those to get justice. If the other side spends more, you are likely to lose.

- otterley 17d agoWhich of these parties doesn’t have lawyers? (I’m talking about bigcorps stealing from bigcorps here.) In a case where both parties have lawyers, having more and more expensive lawyers is not necessarily predictive of a case’s outcome. There are diminishing returns. What having more resources tends to do is force the poorer party to settle quicker. But that’s not necessarily a loss. Judges still have to approve settlements in the interest of justice.
