Of course. But the plaintiff will have to lay down his money first. That, as they say, will separate the men from the boys. For a lawyer to take it on a contingency basis, he will need to see that the pockets are deep enough to make it worth his while.
Nobody here has come near to threatening me with a law suit. If they tried to pull that, my reaction would be, "I dare you." Ec

I want to forstall filing of law suits, especially in federal courts (which can be quite arbitrary). A simple, essentially bogus, legal action in a federal court with associated appeal can easily cost the defendant $100,000 or more.

I don't think that it's a question of what the Foundation has the legal right to do. Most of these "threats" of legal action are just a matter of blowing off steam. Many of these "disputes" don't come near to being a part of arbitration procedure. Do you really want to make more work for yourself than you already have? :-)

What I want to do is to create an agreement that all disputes will be handled through our arbitration procedure, thus precluding any legal action other than possible appeal of an arbitration decision. I don't think folks realize that we can legally do that.
