I'd like to see some variation of it along the lines of universal entitlement to seek recovery of costs and fees from a losing plaintiff (as opposed to automatic entitlement to recovery).
I've seen proposals of that sort as well, and I too like that idea much better than I like automatic recovery.
Interestingly enough, there was rider on a relatively recent Texas bill (the principal bill was for the unremarkable right to establish seperate dockets for unimpaired asbestos plaintiffs) that would have permitted asbestos defendants to seek recovery of fees and expenses from the plaintiffs.
An amazingly bone-headed political move (I'm sure you can hear in the background the shouts of "picking on the victims to line the pockets of the evil corporations"). Not surprisingly, the entire bill died in committee.
