Could somebody take another to civil court and Sue for charity? Let's say you have a case that you feel very strongly about but, most would feel you were just looking for money? You strongly wish to see this person to court and deeply believe in their need for some kind of punishment.
So, is it really possible for the suit to be declared as payable to a reputable, large charity? The court would be aware of the money being for charity and not for your personal disposal? ( minus attorney fees, of course).

No, the court wouldn't be aware because that information would have nothing to do with the case and would not be admissable.

You sue if you have reason to sue. What you do with the money after you win is your business and has nothing to do with anything.
 
Thank You for your reply. Something I've always wondered about, even outside anything personal. Your answer makes total sense though.
