On the recordMarch 7, 1995
When you take that in all cases and then ask the judge to give more, the history with rule XI sanctions is that it is very, very, very rarely done. And the attorneys know it, and they do not worry about rule XI sanctions because they know that the odds of them being applied to them are very, very remote. If you put this provision in, they are going to know that it is 25 percent. Maybe there is a remote chance of getting more, but it is not going to be 100 percent in the cases that it should be 100 percent in.
