Is this is a slip, or is this on purpose the wrong way around than I'd believe is the case. In europe we don't have the issue of frivolous court cases so common
than in the US, because if you lose you have to pay the costs of the one you filed a case against also. Also this system makes it far less problematic what in the US is famishing the opponent, that is to prolong the case until he is out of money. In europe this won't work, since if you are pretty sure you gonna win, you can go forever in the case, since the your opponnent will have to pay all your costs, and the longer he prolongs the case if he is losing, the more expensive it will be for him.
