Law suits are civil matters.  There may or may not be a "law" supporting the
cause of action.  Certainly, there will almost always be common law
precedents.  Under Anglo-American jurisprudence it's like they used to tell
us in law school, "You can sue the bishop of Boston for bastardry, but don't
expect to win."  (Now, if the issue is pedophilia...)
