Example of why this is terrible. I ran a small engineering firm. We had a client just refuse to pay the final $10k on a project. They said, in an email, "we're not paying you because we're on the other side of the country, and it'll cost you more than $10k to win". I brought that email to 3 different attorneys who all said they were right.

It's a bad thing. We have the opposite system in Germany. Usually the losing side pays for the costs of the suit, including the costs of the court.
It makes people consider filing a lawsuit according to how sure they are that they have the law on their side, not how deep their pockets are. Especially since most people have a legal expenses insurence, that pays for their lawers, when they get sued.

No, it's not a good thing, and it's stupdi say it is. Not getting legal expenses covered, even when you win, gives the rich far more power in the legal system than working class people. Rich people and corporations can simply attempt to drown legal opponents in lawyers fees, and even people who are 100% in the right often end up having to cave in, because they can't afford the continued legal fees.
The entire idea of SLAPP lawsuits which is a plague in America only works because you end up sitting on your legal fees, even when you win.
And America is one of the only countries on the planet that uses this system, and there's a reason why almost no other country does it that way. Guaranteeing legal fees when you win evens the playing field and enables lower income people to continue fighting in court without fear of bankruptcy when they know they're in the right.

Depends, especially when youāre barred from vindicating your rights solely due to it not being economical, especially when accused (at least in criminal you can get AN attorney) or against the government (civil asset forfeiture springs to mind). I can understand when thereās a genuine confusion, legal fees can be a deterrent, but as you get to the blatant side (cops taking your money and when you need to sue to get it back) thereās no chance for you to get made whole, thatās where I see the lawsuit as a direct or proximate economic damage.

To be fair it depends on how it's implemented. In Ireland we have a system were fees are capped so the solicitor and barrister so if they spend a lot more and you win the cost not on you it's on them and generally fees aren't always awarded even if you lose because the judge decides basically if the claim was in good faith enough to not bankrupt them. It's fair and it ensures you don't have a team of solicitors and barristers unless the case pays enough for them to get a cut
