How many frivolous plaintiffs have any money to collect the costs? Very few. This is a bill that looks good on paper but would have little real effect.
Now, if you want REAL reform, make the plaintiff’s ATTORNEY liable for the defendant’s costs if he loses. And if he doesn’t pay up, suspend his license to practice until he does.
The targets here are the scumbag lawyers, not their scumbag frivolous plaintiffs.
