Question
Someone told me that in the Shulchan Aruch it says that a Jewish court can’t take a case after someone went to a secular court and didn’t win..
Is this true?
if yes, where exactly in the shulhan aruch does it say this?
thank you
Answer
Sueing someone in secular court is a tremendous aveirah and a big chilul Hashem.
The source you look for is choshen Mishpat 26:1
