You are describing the same pathetic self-serving legal phenomenon of frivolous claims seen in North America, and I think it's mostly been inspired by lawyers themselves, in order to give themselves more work....and now the general public has gotten used to the idea that they can blame someone else for something and get rich off it.

There was one idiot who tried to bring a lawsuit against God, because his life hadn't worked out in general nearly as well as he had hoped it would when he was young, and he felt that God had let him down badly. He wanted compensation. It actually reached the courts, but the judge threw it out. Had God lost the case, I wonder how they would have got "him" to pay? ;-) Oh, the guy not only brought the suit against God, he also sued the local, state, and federal governments too...as well as some other people (I forget who) all because he felt they were partially responsible for his life not having worked out according to his expectations.

A guy like that needs a good solid kick out the courthouse door, and maybe a year laying bricks in the hot sun or digging ditches, just so he can snap back to reality and take a little personal responsibility for a change.
