Litigation costs are driven by the defense, not the plaintiff. The awards have to reflect the costs else justice will be denied to someone who deserves it.

Yes, it's all the defense's fault. They should just cough up however many million dollars silky pony or one of his ilk names, and not waste a court's time.

Justifying compensation from someone else by the time you chose to put into something he didn't ask for or want is obscene. We all pay for it.

I have no idea what this means. However what I do know is that both sides probably know whether the defendant was negligent or not, and what damages can be shown to the court or jury as reasonable compensation. Which is why most cases are settled long before the trial is ever scheduled.

The rediculous costs involved in proving a negligence case often are 99% the result of the strategy of the defense, but I realize that I am wasting my time assaulting you with facts when you have your feelings to rely upon.
