I guess you also need to take into the account of "prosecution" compared to the amount recovered.

But our laws, by the nature of our legal system, will always be complex. It would be nice to simply say you pay n% of earnings and that's it but there are exceptions with exceptions and folk will always try to pay less by using loop holes and exceptions so these have to be defined very precisely.
