This is why law in it's current form is wrong in every country and jurisdiction.

We need "cumulative cases" that work like this: you submit your complaints to existing cumulative cases or open a new one, these are vetted by prosecutors.

They accumulate evidence over time and once it is a respectable sum, a court case is opened (paid by the corporation) everyone receives what they are owed if/when the case is won. If the court case loses, is appealed, and loses again, that cumulative case is banned.

Cumulative cases would have greater reprocussions to large corporate entities than "single person takes to court for several months to fight for a $40 discount".

And the people who complain rightfully eventually get a nice surprise in their bank accounts.


Do class action lawsuits match what you envision?
Yes it does, sans the mechanisms for case accumulation.
