That's a good question, midasinvz. I'm curious about this too. As I understand it, "costs" is a broad term and could mean anything from the fees charged by the court to file papers up to everything including all attorneys fees and even fees charged by expert witnesses. Sometimes costs are reimbursed by a statute that specifies what may be reimbursed, and sometimes it is all at the court's discretion. I have no idea in a case like this if the court is granted discretion to have the losing plaintiff pay the winning defendant's attorney's fees, only court costs, or what. Perhaps someone has a better idea of what it means in this case specifically.
