Just guessing, I'd say that a lot of lawsuits could have taken place if 
there had actually been a shutdown of ATMs, power plants, etc. because of 
Y2K.  Some suits have already started.  I imagine that there will be some 
serious lawsuits over the failure of a number of credit card readers in 
Great Britain, leading to a number of small businesses losing significant 
amounts of sales.
