"Will need to be persuaded to compensate," i.e., sued, which will take probably 2-5 years to complete because it will be cheaper to bill lawyers than payout potentially millions to Vachani.

A big problem with our legal system is that it favors those with more money in every way - the rich can lever more cases, better cases, more often. They can afford to appeal at every level, to pay lawyers to look for hundreds of little loopholes. And they are essentially immune to being sued because not only can nobody afford to even begin procedures, once they do, all the more enriched party needs to do is fend off attacks long enough for their opponents' funds to run out.

The legal system is not the only institution affected by this.

Yes that is and has been the way of the world. But we at least like to pretend or want that to be not the case. Also legal system was suppose to be the place to go when in other system (administration and such) fails to protect the poor and weak.
