Technically, it is possible to sue almost anyone, but that's not your question, really.  Your question is whether it is worth the filing fee; can you win?  And for that, you need to tell the details to a liability attorney and see if they are willing to take the case on contingency fee.  If you have a complaint but can't find a lawyer willing to gamble his time and expertise to winning it, then it's probably because none of the ones you spoke to think it has much chance of winning.\n\nOne thing is in order to win a liability case, you have to be able to prove damages.  What, exactly, did you lose?  You will need documentation, of course.\n\nSo go ahead and try.  Visit with several plaintiffs' attorneys and see if they will take you up on it.

No. \n\nBy suing a person is merely asserting a claim and requesting that the matter be considered by a (hopefully) impartial Court of Law. The right to seek remedies to injuries and damages in inherent in a democracy. \n\nDenying services to people who sue the government is punishing them for merely asserting their rights.

That really depends on you are in the time line of the litigation.  Did you oppose the lawsuit?  Has there been a trial or a judgment?  Has the the court issued a writ of possession?

Generally speaking, small claims courts are state courts of limited jurisdiction (limited to hearing cases where the amount in controversy is less than $5,000). A corporation that does business in a state is subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in that state. Generally, every business that is authorized to do business in a state will be required to maintain a resident agent within that state. The name and address of the resident agent is generally filed with the Secretary of State and available to the public. Generally, whenever a lawsuit is filed against a corporation, whether domestic or foreign, the Plaintiff can serve the summons and complaint on the resident agent.\n\nGood luck!

The notion that compulsory arbitration completely abridges all appeal rights on any basis is layperson misunderstanding -- it does not.\n\nCompulsory arbitiration means that the parties must substitute a more informal hearing process for the traditional due process of a judicial trial. However, the arbitrator must still permit the parties a meaningful opportunity to appear and present their positions and the arbitrator must make a neutral decision based upon the evidence appearing on the record.\n\nThe objective of compulsory arbitration is to reduce the cost of litigating a dispute -- not to prevent all judicial review.\n\nA court may review a compulsory arbitration award on the basis of mistake of fact, mistake of law, application of law, and abuse of discretion. A court may not substitute its decision for the opinion of the arbitrator, but it may set aside the arbitration award and require the arbitrator to reconsider the matter in view of the facts on the record, and any opinion of the court as to the harmful error made during arbitration.\n\nThe court may also require that the arbitrator more clearly explain its award so that the court can consider the decision based on the facts set forth on the record.\n\nThe above rules generally prevail with regard to a judicially mandated compulsory arbitration.\n\nWhere parties contractually agree to a private arbitration, under the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 U.S.C. 1-16 et. seq.), a different standard applies.\n\n"The Federal Arbitration Act allows a federal court to correct a technical error, to strike all or a portion of an award pertaining to an issue not at all subject to arbitration, and to vacate an award that evidences affirmative misconduct in the arbitral process or the final result or that is completely irrational or exhibits a manifest disregard for the law. These grounds afford an extremely limited review authority, a limitation that is designed to preserve due process but not to permit unnecessary public intrusion into private arbitration procedures." Kyocera Corp. v. Prudential-Bache Trade Services, Inc., 341 F.3d 987 (9th Cir. 08/29/2003) \n\nWith regard to the scope of judicial review, "...arbitrators 'exceed their powers' in this regard not when they merely interpret or apply the governing law incorrectly, but when the award is 'completely irrational;' French, 784 F.2d at 906, or exhibits a 'manifest disregard of law,' Todd Shipyards Corp. v. Cunard Line, Ltd., 943 F.2d 1056, 1059-60 (9th Cir. 1991)." Ibid.\n\nThus, courts are only authorized by Congress to undertake a more narrow review of arbitration awards, they are nevertheless still empowered to accord the litigants with a reasoned measure of due process.

The federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction, as opposed to state courts, which are courts of general jurisdiction.  In order for a federal court to have jurisdiction over a lawsuit the controversy must involve a federal statute or be between parties of diverse residence, i.e. different states.  A colorable federal question means that a lawsuit qualifies to be heard by a federal court because it involves an alleged violation of a federal statute.

Your question is too vague.  I'd suggest you look at a horn book on Contracts - or do a key word search on Westlaw.  Generally, if a judge errs, the remedy is to appeal the matter and see what remedy the appellate court can offer.
