Replying to Suing People

Suing someone, or something, is a national pastime to a certain large group of visitors that this Canadian website sees every single day. Jokes are made about it, people rage, people defend actions or dismiss them completely. In the end, we're looking at suing through a very slanted lens - mostly the more notorious cases are highlighted, be they for better or worse. At least on the skiing side of things, lawsuits are seen as horrific and the reason we can't have nice things. It's not a strictly one-sided cultural phenomenon, as it is spreading all around the globe in both serious and dubious instances.


So I ask you, denizens of NS, have you, would you, will you or do you know someone who has sued someone for anything, but mostly in this case for monetary compensation? Be it a real case, a falsified claim, a strike for "opportunity" or something else?
