I don't think it is daft. I wrote 'so called' to try to indicate that law suits reported as silly in the press often have valid foundations.
I was originally going to mention a BBC radio programme called 'Law in Action'; they often discuss topical legal issues and explain why 'daft' lawsuits are actually often perfectly reasonable.
I didn't include the comment, because I thought dragging in a BBC radio prog would be too parochial - but it may have made it clearer that I believe 'daft' lawsuits are often perceived as such due to misreporting, and aren't daft at all.
