business activity


potential legal losses to be limited to a defined list of items, such as


	disputes over contracts, the amount due under the contract plus a reasonable penalty

	injuries to customers, etc. costs of medical treatment, if an unsafe environment

	infringement of trademarks etc, order to stop the infringement


	general aim to not allow any settlement that would lead to the end of the business



e.g. small firm with 1,000 clients, each suing would effectively make it not possible to continue the activity
