The third approach is to use the English Rule for attorneys fees -- that the loser pays the winner's attorneys fees. Lots of complaints would go away if there were a risk that it might cost you a bundle out of your own pocket to pursue a wrongful case. And right now, many companies settle lawsuits because it's cheaper than litigating them. But if they had the right to have their legal fees recouped, they would be more likely to fight cases, and IMO many fewer cases of highly dubious merit would be filed simply because the plaintiff expected a nuisance settlement.
