Indeed. Also, frivolous lawsuits result in the prosecution lawyer getting
bollocked.

Re: Stalking Asshole "Taylor Jimenez" NAILED as Joe Jared!!
We have sanctions for frivolous lawsuits, and for frivolous defenses too,
and statutes that mandate paying the winner's attorney's fees under certain circumstances. Usually, the threat of invoking one of these, whether it is a statute, court rule, or case law, is enough to make frivolous lawsuits go away, in the initial stages of the legal process. Theoretically, what are left are those with some merit, both on the plaintiff and defense sides. The fact that there are so many lawsuits, is more evidence that people just don't get along, than anything else. People go to court, to settle differences that they cannot settle outside of court. There are abuses of course, but there are safeguards, even in lawyer-rich American society. Precisely how does one use the word "bollock", or possibly "ballock", as a verb? Americans want to know.

Re: Stalking Asshole "Taylor Jimenez" NAILED as Joe Jared!!
Oh, is that a Brit only one ? Bollocking someone is to "bawl them out", give
them a hard time etc. also can say "give someone a right bollocking" or "bust someone's balls over <insert reason>". We don't use "ballock" as an alternative spelling btw.
