The concept of a "frivilous lawsuit" rings a bell with me since I had a friend who was on the receiving end of a series of them. The basic idea is that the rich and powerful can beat down their poor competitior/opposition by filing such lawsuits, since the money involved is "in the noise level" for the rich. Trice may be a billionaire for all I know. On the other hand, if he is a poor slob like the rest of us, he might not find filing frivolous [note the correct spelling] lawsuits to be cost effective.
