On the recordMarch 8, 1995

This legislation does say now that we are providing a method by which the judge can impose fees upon the losing party if in fact the suit never should have been brought if it would not be unjust to do so and if it would not be undburdensome for the winning defendant to carry those fees. He has got to find all three things. It does allow the judge to do that. Therefore, the requirement is that a bond be established, the lawyer can put up the bond if he has got an indigent plaintiff or the client can put up a bond, the judge determines how much of a bond, and the bond satisfies the requirements if it is ordered.
