As it stands, it's still far more profitable to take everyone to court as too few are willing / able to fight, and even when someone does, the amount awarded is too low to properly justify the amount of time spent / worry endured fighting the case.Herringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12075705932119202292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050188067980163727.post-67265194691735414062017-06-12T23:40:10.095-07:002017-06-12T23:40:10.095-07:00Well when they don't turn up anything is possi...Well when they don't turn up anything is possible lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09316553945094403697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050188067980163727.post-768263282373300952017-06-12T16:45:57.641-07:002017-06-12T16:45:57.641-07:00Pro bono costs, thats a new one - bonus ball.Pro bono costs, thats a new one - bonus ball.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021518396632296151noreply@blogger.com
