American Rule (attorney's Fees)
The American rule (capitalized as American Rule in some U.S. states) is the default legal rule in the United States controlling assessment of attorneys' fees arising out of litigation. It provides that each party is responsible for paying its own attorney's fees,See unless specific authority granted by statute or contract allows the assessment of those fees against the other party. In other parts of the world, the English rule is used, under which the losing party pays the prevailing party's attorneys' fees. Exceptions The American rule is merely a default rule, not the blanket rule in the United States. Many statutes at both the federal and state levels allow the winner to recover reasonable attorney's fees, and there are two major exceptions in federal case law as well. Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 54(d), federal statutes may supersede the default rule of not awarding attorney fees. The Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act is one such federal law28 U.S.C. § 1927aut ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
