If someone pays for the right to sue, they should have a hearing. To my understanding a hearing is where a case can be dismissed by a judge. The judge has to hear the issues at hand before dismissing the case. I am sure different jurisdictions have different rules to this, but you have to allow a case to take its course first. Also we are not hearing the entire story or all the issues at hand. It sounds ridiculous, but that does not mean that we all understand the procedures that must be followed.
