Okay, maybe this is tricky, but it's not trivial. "[O]ne PC obviously can't file a lawsuit against another" isn't part of the procedures of play.

"One player can't insist that his PC files a lawsuit against another PC" [i]is[/i] part of the procedures of play, though. What I hope you'll notice is this: "don't have your character do something outside the preagreed bounds of the game" is a procedure of play, the line between it and the imagined stuff isn't blurry at all, and it's clearly a principled decision (whether it comes from a rulebook or not).

The line between the rules and the imagined stuff only seems blurry if you also blur the line between the players and the imaginary stuff. As always, the rules of the game apply to the players only.
