I'm in total agreement with you on that statement! I just finished a 3 year
battle, which amounted to next to nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Even when a judgement is in your favor, they have a right to appeal the
decision, and multiple times as well! You MIGHT even get the other party to
agree to arbitration and accept whatever the arbitrator decides for the
case, but they can change their mind after, appeal it, and opt for a court
trial, at which point both parties will end up meeting with the judge, who
will discuss the case and also try to help you come to an amicable decision,
and if you both don't agree, they'll proceed to the next stage of the trial
process. It's absolutely NOT WORTH IT! There are no winners!
