You don’t need a federal law to sue someone. You can sue anybody for literally any reason.
Doesn’t mean it will be successful of course, and if it’s frivolous, you’ll probably have to pay court costs and for the defense lawyers, but you can totally sue pretty much anybody for any reason at least in America.
Sure, but it’s one thing to try to apply general law that might fit your situation and another thing to have specific law with it’s own standard that you can rely on.
