The most horrible part is that _they are allowed to drop their case anytime_ in the UK civil court. In previous cases when the accused has run out of money, the defendants have to pay their costs [1] to keep the trial running - with zero chance of being able to recoup costs because the accused will be bankrupt anyway. The UK state should not make private individuals fund the creation of novel case law; it's absolutely stupid.
