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.
What HarryT described is the same as what you have described, I think. Perhaps the English sentence construction is confusing?
