Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 2920504, member: 652"] Sullivan shouldn’t be overturned. As a lawyer we want work but if the US incorporated a modified British legal standard where in Britain the loser of lawsuits was responsible for the legal bills over the victory it wouldn’t be a bad thing. Rule 11 sanctions are rarely granted but I think too many frivolous lawsuits are filed and there are no repercussions for these lawsuits beyond them getting thrown out. I get not wanting the chilling effect of people filing lawsuits risking having to pay the others bills all the time but I wish judges did it more. [/QUOTE]
