The British Small Claims Courts deal mainly with cases where damages are under a set limit (around £5,000, if I recall correctly). Plus, in a Small Claims Court, the rulings are final: no appeals can be made for harsher damages awards, but rather on the technical merits of the case.

...In the meantime, however, there's a lot of funny accounting going on to ensure that reidual payments are as little as possible....except for the megastars.
I think that's patented. So you have to pay whoever owns the patent on "an electronic method for calculating addition, subtraction, multiplication and division."
