I don't know. Having seen Small Claims Court in person, there were companies suing people and people suing companies. And all the companies showed up.

As for enforcement, here, you're allowed to sell the debt the company owes you to collectors, and this pays 10% interest a year--not bad compared to a checking account. You can demand they show up in court again and answer to the judge why they haven't paid, and when they will, you can lay claim to rent and assets, et cetera. The court won't do that for you, but it very much does want to help legitimately harmed parties settle their score.

I agree it's not fast, though.
