The legal system is exorbitantly expensive. I had a neighbor sue me over a land dispute (yes, they’re that petty). My lawyers informed me that I was looking at $80-200k in legal bills to take even this little thing to trial.

It doesn’t surprise me that organizations actively try to avoid it.

Sorry to hear that.

I lived with someone for several years who was in a legal dispute with their tenants. Once one lawsuit was over, the other part retributed. I never knew them when they were not either suing or getting sued.

It taught me this: don’t ever go to court if you can avoid it.
