From the Delaware Small Claims Court page: "The most you can ask for in a small claims case is $15,000" - just noting.
Right. Beyond that, you need a lawyer and have to go to Delaware's Chancery Court, where multibillion dollar corporate cases are routinely decided. If Mt. Gox owes you more than $15K, you probably do need a lawyer. However, for amounts up to $15,000, there's a small claims court option.

My point here is that you don't have to just bend over and take it from Mt. Gox. There are ways to compel them to pay up.

Just curious why a Japanese court would give two shits about an American small claims court case?
Delaware's not in japan. The US govt has already seized some gox funds. If a case were won in Delaware, the funds could potentially be accessed from the seizure. However I'm not sure any of all that is necessary, people will get their funds, just give it time.
