Is there anyway you can explain this part further?

Here's how I understand it. I can sue you for wrongful termination even if I never worked for you. The suit should be tossed out but I have the right to sue.

Suits are brought for things that on the face seem silly, but the defendant still settles, because they are afraid of what could happen in court or the settlement is small enough it makes financial sense not to have to defend against the suit. A good attorney can make a silly suit seem very responsible in front of a jury. My personal injury attorney friends consider the McDonald's hot coffee suit a very reasonable case.
