Um, wouldn't that enable people to ruin people's lives at will? Just sue them over and over. Even if the claims have no merits, eventually they will be bankrupt

- maxerickson 15y agoI think part of the idea is that if you sue someone and nothing comes of it, you have to pay their fees.
- Tichy 15y agoIsn't that the status quo? The suggestion I replied to was to make the loser only pay part of the winner's fees.
- maxerickson 15y agoMy understanding is that (in the U.S.,) the defendant generally doesn't recover any expenses. But I'm not a lawyer and all that. I guess they can counter sue, and courts generally don't tolerate people filing tons of frivolous lawsuits.
