I have read of cases where the plaintives had sued for several million of dollars. When everything was done they didn’t even get $10. The lawyers got it all

Yep. I’ve gotten coupons from “class-action settlements” that I didn’t even know I was a party to. The scum-sucking lawyers used my name to extort millions of $ from Carnival cruises, then sent me a $50 off a full fare cruise coupon. Reading the fine print I saw the lawyers get 30 million, the “finder/filer” got 2000.00, and everyone else got worthless coupons.

I'd love to see that, care to share? Did you ever bother to think that a tactic of the defense is to make the cost of bringing the suit to conclusion so high that the plaintiff cannot afford to win?

You folks have no idea what the consquences of a loser pays system would be. Actually, usually when I see this statement, it reads "looser pays"...
