loser pays rule
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Definition A proposed element of tort reform in which any losing party–plaintiff or defendant–would pay the court costs.
Such a rule would be a powerful disincentive against frivolous lawsuits. The image is that of plaintiffs’ attorneys responding to this component of tort reform.
