Sounds to me the country club went from a $53,595 loss, to $53,595 + x1,000’s in attorney fees. Way to go.

If this case is being litigated as a fraud claim, then the defendant(s) may be facing the prospect of paying the following (depending on the laws of the state):

1. the cost of the truck ($54,000)
2. their own legal fees to defend themselves in the lawsuit
3. triple damages (for fraud)
4. the plaintiff's legal fees
5. punitive damages

This can turn into a $500,000 loss very easily. And if they lose a fraud case, it's not covered by insurance, either.
