I understand that Wal-Mart will NEVER settle a meritless
"slip-and-fall" case. They may lose money defending such a case but
their theory is that a vigorous defense against a single nuisance
suit deters 100 others.



Big corporations always use litigation to bankrupt their enemies.
Just what the constitution was crated for.



actually,the FEDGOV has essentially unlimited time,resources and
money(taxpayer money) to pursue lawsuits.
Corporations will usually take the path of lowest cost to them.


A company I worked for,Tektronix,fought from 1961 to 1971 on a patent
infringement case,where the Feds took Tek o'scope designs to other
companies and had them make copies of the scopes,and bought those instead
of from Tek.
They were copied all the way down to unused bolt holes in the chassis.

But they performed poorly compared to Tek originals.... :-)

So,I find it humorous that a FedGov employee is complaining about getting
dragged into court.
