I've considered several times what a difference it would be if legal work by individuals was considered a billable expense in the event of the individuals winning. I think it would level the playing field at lease somewhat with regard to the inherent advantage any corporation has via having a legal division full of lawyers over a regular Joe trying to get justice. But yeah, if some farmer has to sue John Deere to be able to fix his tractor or whatever, that's going to take a ton of his valuable time to deal with. Why shouldn't he be compensated in the event he was correct?
