A government body working on an overhaul of the nation's legal system is expected to reach an agreement today on a new scheme that would reduce the financial burden on successful parties of civil suits.
The plan, under which unsuccessful parties of lawsuits must shoulder the legal costs for the other parties as well, is expected to make filing suits easier for people who have good cause to sue but cannot do so because of concerns over expense.
The new scheme is also expected to reduce the number of suits that are filed only to harass or disrupt the defendants' activities.
