In most jurisdictions, the losing party in judicial or arbitration proceedings is ordered to pay the legal costs of the case. These costs can be significant, sometimes even exceeding legal fees and costs. This risk of adverse costs acts as a deterrent, preventing many claims with merit from being filed because claimants are unwilling to assume this risk.
