They have to pay the attorney's fees (which we get the retainer back from). The lawyers get the rest. They earned it, as far as I'm concerned. They did a fantastic job.

I'd say so, but that won't save em from paying the bill, as far as I understand. Jayne, herself, was a plaintiff as well which means she should be liable to pay too.

--- Quote from: "act.da" ---Congrats psy! I'm glad the court has done the right thing, it must put your mind at ease knowing you won't have to pay the $30,000 bill from fighting Benchmark's SLAPP.

Benchmark basically conceded the 30k. They tried to argue that's *all* we should get (meaning the lawyers get nothing). In their oral arguments at the hearing on the motion for attorney's fees, from what I hear they tried to argue that our side should get nothing at all. I haven't read the transcripts yet so I'm not sure how they were able to pull that one out of their ass, but clearly the judge saw it for what it was.
I am *very* happy we got all the money back, but expected little else. They had no case, and they played too many games that the judge saw through. Towards the end, they more or less accused my attorneys of padding their bill. It certainly didn't make them look good to be throwing around such childish accusations. To me, they came off as desperate and bitter. Too bad, i say. They got what they deserved.
