Rules for filing such suits vary by jurisdiction. In general the [[United States]] makes it relatively easy to file such suits. However, even where they are harder to file, such as in [[India]] or [[Ontario]], there are sometimes rules favourable to [[plaintiff]]s: In [[Ontario]], plaintiffs can sell shares in the eventual judgement damages, to finance the case itself; In a famous case against broker [[w:Nesbitt Burns]], there were literally people lined up around the block to buy shares in the lawsuit against this infamous company which sold shares in [[w:Bre-X]]. Ontario also has quite lax [[libel]] and [[slander]] laws under which one can sue even when true things are being said - if they are out of context to the discussion or discourse and not relevant to the decisions being made.
