My countersuit for damages is proceeding.
The problem with loser-pays in a case like mine is that if the plaintiff doesn't have any significant assets that can be seized and sold, it's a one-sided street. I can't collect what's not there, and people don't have to post a bond to be able to sue.
Hm, maybe having to post a bond might not be such a bad idea.
I know an attorney who countersued someone who was suing him frivilously (over and over harassment). He received a small judgment ($3000 or thereabouts). The person had not much in the way of assets, but had a van that was worth about $800. So the attorney saw the guy parked at an office and called the sheriff's office. The guy had to empty the van there on the street as the attorney took possession. In the end, the guy declared bankruptcy within a couple of days and the attorney had to give the van back, but the lawsuits stopped and he told me there was immense satisfaction in standing by and watching the guy clean out the van.
