Hi I have procedure questions about costs.
Threats of assessing costs are used to bully.
I am up against lawyers that threaten that I will be assessed costs, my own lawyers have used this threat too and I found later on that they were lying.
Costs are never a sure thing and full reimbursement is not often. Judges decide. I have to be stronger on this.
Step 1: I tell them I am going to file a motion unless they comply or agree.
Step 2: After X days I file the motion and ask for costs.
Step 3: They seek to agree and settle and have me withdraw the motion.
Questions:
1. How do I collect on the cost of filing the motion?
2. If the tables were turned how do I avoid costs?
3. What is a judge likely to asses costs for and what are they not likely to assess costs for?
I will run into this as I am up against a lawyer and this lawyer is definitely not about playing it by the books or fair. They do bully.
I really need help and experienced opinion here.
thank you.
