To add injury to insult. even in cases in which the courts have acknowledged that certain plaintiffs had litigated claims without substantial evidence. the defendant was unable to recover attorneys fees. The Legal Services Corporation Act states that a recovery of fees may be obtained only if the case has been pursued "for the sole purpose of harrassment." The first of my two bills changes the wording of this section from "sole" purpose to "principal" purpose. and it authorizes the awarding of attorneys fees if a suit is determined to be "frivolous." A farmer would then be more inclined to prove his innocence in court without being overwhelmed by the prospect of exorbitant legal fees. My second bill would add a new section to the Migrant Seasonal Workers Protection Act which. again. specifically authorizes attorneys fees. This bill also requires that a plaintiff must exhaust all available administrative remedies and attempt to arbitrate. Only after these alternatives have been unsuccessful may one file suit.
