Well, they may not get millions- but here's how it will work (using made up numbers)-
They will file suit knowing that the other side will have to hire lawyers totaling $50,000- regardless of if they win or lose... just to appear in court.
They will offer to settle out of court for $40,000, and chances are the other side will take it because it will be less money.
Sound ridiculous? Well, it is. But it also happens all the time.
