Loser pays makes filing these absurd cases a lot more expensive. If it's destined to lose and it's guaranteed to be paid, finding a lawyer is going to take it on is going to be really easy.
- intrasight 10y agoI think you mean to say "plaintiff loser pays". If the defendant loses, they shouldn't pay. Only then would finding a lawyer get easy.
- astrodust 10y agoNope. Loser pays. This is the English system and it's generally up to the court to decide if this is the case, and if so, what amount is appropriate.
