You're right there's some subtlety in the wording, and my simplification of the figures doesn't help. It doesn't change the fact that he didn't get a 1 million dollar award personally, and that legal fees of 750,000 were paid from that award. We don't know what he wouls have had to pay if he lost, but it I was reading this as someone going through an abusive workplace and considerih arbitration, the fear of even being asked for 10% of that 750k legal bill would push me to not do it.
- thaumasiotes 5y agoThe payment agreement is made in advance; it doesn't come as a surprise once the judgment is announced.
- qeternity 5y ago> We don't know what he wouls have had to pay if he lost These cases are taken on contingency, so if they lost, the lawyer gets nothing. This is compensated by the large percentage of fees in the case of a win.
