“... we do not have loser pays attorney fees in this country”
Did you mean ‘in this county?’ Because several states have some versions of ‘loser pays’ laws ... Alaska, Texas, Oklahoma to name a few.
No, I meant country. I qualified my statement by saying that there are limited exceptions. I believe the fee-shifting statutes in the states you mentioned apply only to certain kinds of cases and circumstances. The general rule in the country is that the loser does not pay, the so-called "American Rule."
