Absolutely this would increase frivolous but likely successful lawsuits. Much like patent law today. Justice IMO should not be tied to financial gain as much as is realistic.This is why I much prefer systems were personal trauma/compensation settlements are not near the levels you read about in some US cases, more about covering direct costs.

That said if they did do something like this I suspect the most reasonable way would be to treat it like political donations, similar to some countries where only citizens can donate, donations are transparent and capped as lower levels.
