If someone feels slighted, we are better off as a society to allow them recourse through the courts. Otherwise, there would be no accountability for small injustices, leading to discontent and likely escalating conflicts. The Court charges filing fees for a reason, and those fees should merely be high enough to cover the cost to the Court. If the Court is compensated for its time, then that is all that should matter. Small claims court is designed for these small cases, so overcrowding of the Court is not as big of an issue. <br/><br/>So, while it may seem that these principle-based claims are frivolous and a waste of time, their existence is necessary for people to feel that there is justice for anyone and everyone.

I read similiar articles on www.civiltree.com on individuals using the courts time to file small claims based on stupid principle. Small claims should have a min of $1000. its time consuming and cases like these take time away from proper claims.

We could make it a TV show so you could be on National TV and that would cover the costs of the extra pre-judges.
