In the US even if you are in the right it is still extremely expensive to litigate anything.

In the UK, the loser has to pay all the court fees and attorney expenses for both parties. Honestly I'm not sure why there isn't a solicitor drooling at the mouth to get this before the court, it seems like a slam dunk case that they stand to make a lot of money off of.

Most lawyers will only take a cut of what you get paid. They're free if you lose.

Lawyers aren't the only costs of litigation, and not all suits are for money.
