Lawyers grease the wheels of this activity. Consider what the effect of having loser pays on the system would have such as in Britain. That would seem to be a good path to go down and likely reduce the volume of legal activity.
Sometimes yes they are greasing, sometimes no, they aren't.
It varies depending on the type of firm.
Loser pays has its ups and downs. For example, you don't want loser pays when you are trying to fight small guy vs large guy, which is the case for most consumers.
