My gut feeling is to agree with this....unfortunately it is a bad idea.
There are a very few legit lawsuits that get filed, and this kind of system would essentially prevent the little guy from EVER suing corporate america because he couldn't afford to pay for the company's army of attornies in the event he loses his case. Management would take this one to the bank...
Actually most or all jurisdictions have provisions for the plaintiff to pay the defendents fees in the event that the suit is found to be frivolous...unfortunately this doesn't get applied as often as it should.
