No.
If somebody sues me, and I offer to pay my debt in bitcoins, the court may refuse to recognise this payment. But if I pay in the national currency, the court is required to recognise this payment.
This is part of the legal system in every country. It's one of the mechanisms governments use to force citizens to use the national currency.
