I think the Christian version is new (and uncommon) because it's unbiblical.
"Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers, but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers? To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?" (1 Cor 6:5-7)
He appears to be saying Christians shouldn't sue Christians at all, especially not in a secular court, and grievances should be settled by a wise member of a local church.
