Loser-pays should be the standard for civil suits, IMO.

“Loser-pays should be the standard for civil suits, IMO.”

For individual plaintiffs going up against large corporations, no. For class actions, where it’s essentially big guns vs big guns, yes.

Let me qualify that. Where mere compensatory damages are being requested, no. Where punitive damages are sought, yes, the loser should pay.
