Unless somebody actually has thousands of pounds in the bank, then when faced with a demand to pay, say £10,000, in costs; they will simply declare themselves bankrupt. This means that the person suing them gets nothing at all. The only people it is worth suing are very rich people or those working for companies who will share the bill and can be compelled to pay up if the case goes against them. This is why the ordinary man or woman in the street is never sued for libel.
