Basically yes. Civil law between companies is first and foremost a welfare system for legal folks and a club to beat people with. If you don't have the money to pay, you can't play, you simply lose. This unfortunately is the case with most criminal law as well.

When people scream and scream and scream about tort reform in the US, this sort of stuff is mostly what they're talking about. There are a wealth of lawsuits filed every year which have no reasonable basis that do nothing but make lawyers rich.
