How does this help? Consider:
US: A files suit against B. A is richer than B, and drowns them in legal fees so they'll settle/lose/whatever. B loses and pays B's legal expenses.
Finland: A files suit against B. A is richer than B, and drowns them in legal fees so they'll settle/lose/whatever. B loses and pays A + B's legal expenses.
This example is basically the situation that the OP was talking about, so in this situation, the Finnish model would be not so good for him.
So I follow your link (I love wikipedia). Finally I found a description of Deuterium, which linked to a dscription of "heavy water" - when D replaces hydrogen. An interesting read, but even more interesting was the blurb at the end:
"Heavy water would be an ideal poison for killing someone with, since it is extremely unusual for forensic tests for it to be performed, and it would appear that the person was merely suffering from some mysterious illness; however, heavy water is very expensive, and requires a government license to purchase, making this method of killing someone less attractive in practice." http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_water
Hmm.
