As was said, the countries where the losing party pays usually have tables where you can find the legal fees and the maximum amounts that the losing party has to potentially pay.
- mcv 7y agoIt would make sense if the amount you have to pay for the other party's legal fees can never be more than what you paid for your own legal fees. That way, a small party fighting a big one will at worst double their legal costs (though that can still be a lot), and if they're sure they will win, they can afford to spend whatever is necessary to get there, because it's still going to be less than what Big Corp is going to spend. But that's also the big risk: if they're sure they're going to win, spend big to ensure that victory, and then still lose, then they lose far more than they can possibly afford. It's a very risky gamble.
