In France the loser must reimburse the winner's legal fees, so those damages are likely in addition to paying Entr’Ouvert's legal costs: https://manhattan.insti

  Presumably not their own costs (time spent, stress, miscelanneous expenditures incurred due to having to attend court) though, right?

    NAL, but I think these laws typically include all reasonable expenses, but that you'd need to justify/receipt those expenses. So, travel to court each day, accommodation, anything related to running the case, sure. Stress, unlikely because you can't attribute a direct value to it. I think opportunity cost is the biggest for most people, you almost certainly wouldn't be able to claim lost revenue due to your time in court.

      No, the french judiciary system is clearly advantageous for big actors, the article 700 (right to be reimbursed of expenses) is a flat fee estimated by the court event if you give every receipts, we got 60k euros, which a less than we spent, which is I think around 100k for 14 years of litigation (we never tried to make the sum as we did know it would no be useful in the end), plus others costs like expertise fees which were shared 50/50 between us and Orange/FranceTelecom.
