Is the title supposed to be $1 because if so that is hilarious lmao

Also how does this resolve if they settle out of court? NO?

@MingCat Some suits are $1 to signify that there is no intention of making money out of a defamation suit, purely to prove that they are right and that a court will side with them. In other words, "it's not about the money, it's about proving a point."

@MingCat Yeah I just remembered hearing about a $1 case a few years back. I never really looked into it until now. Turns out they're called "nominal damage" cases.
