It's all about the legal system and nothing else.

- Either pay me a relatively small amount or face the threat of vast legal bills. If I win you will pay me a vast amount on top of legal bills; if I lose you won't get anything from me because I have nothing, but you will still have to pay a vast legal fee.

So the choice is to pay a small sum or a very large sum. This is a feature of the legal system where any action is very expensive, regardless of the outcome. In addition it is lengthy, so you will be under a cloud of financial uncertainty for a while. Will people want to invest in you? Will you be able to get loans? Will customers want to enter a relationship with you?
