If you can prove a statement is false and that nets you money then it's not pointless. If you are "Right Fighting" to prove she is wrong then it's pointless. The legal stuff is almost entirely about finances.

Statement: "He was mean to me beyond belief. He always took the last slice of pizza. He wouldn't hold open doors for me. He told me I could take all his money as compensation."

Response: "I did NOT tell her she could take all my money."

You seem to trust lawyers more than most. I chalked this up to maybe differences between the US and UK. However, polls show only 29% of Americans and 42% of Brits "trust lawyers to tell the truth." Lawyers are humans, like you and me. If a person can get away with a lie, and a lie helps them or their family, people sometimes lie. I see it sometimes when people who are anti-covid-vaccination claimed they were vaccinated to enter a venue without a mask. We don't all value TRUTH as the highest possible virtue.
