These days lawyers don't charge if they don't win

Yep - they do!   Read the fine print.

Maybe they don't charge for time but they charge for the paperwork.

You could see a bill for thousands, just for photocopying for starters.

As for dylan - you haven't spent much time in a court.

You're not always awarded costs.     It's not automatic if you win

Only if the judge awards it,  if they see fit

Oh, and if your lawyer remembers to ask for it!!!
