Am I missing something? Isn't he eligible to recover reasonable attorney fees?
- aidenn0 9y agoIt is very rare in the US to be able to recover attorney fees. IANAL, but it typically only happens if there is a specific statute, or pre-existing contractual arrangement specifying it. Some states, for example, designate that attorney fees should be awarded if a plaintiff pursued a lawsuit despite knowing there was no grounds for it. Also many anti-discrimination laws also have such rules. That's the general rule, but I have zero knowledge of Oregon's laws.
- CalChris 9y agoAt this point, his attorneys (the Institute for Justice) are trying to get the law declared unconstitutional. And at this point, the state is trying to get the court case dismissed in order to avoid getting the law declared unconstitutional. http://ij.org/ http://ij.org/ I don't think this is about attorney's fees anymore and Järlström won't be paying them.
