Who will bear the legal fees for litigation?

Legal analysis: According to the law, the lawyer's fee is paid by the party requesting the lawyer. However, in civil and commercial cases, when one party becomes the defendant, if the party hires a lawyer to defend it and the plaintiff wins the case, it can ask the plaintiff to pay this fee (the law supports one party to pay the necessary fee paid by the other party for the trial of the case).

Legal basis: payment method of litigation expenses

Twenty-ninth litigation costs shall be borne by the losing party, unless the winning party voluntarily bears it. If the case is partially won or partially lost, the people's court shall decide the amount of litigation costs borne by the parties according to the specific circumstances of the case. * * * If the parties lose the case, the people's court shall decide the amount of litigation expenses to be borne by each party according to the interest relationship between the parties and the litigation object.

Article 52 The system of payment and collection of litigation fees shall be made public. The people's court charges litigation fees and uses financial bills uniformly printed by the financial department of the State Council or the financial department of the provincial people's government in accordance with the financial affiliation. The case acceptance fee and application fee shall be turned over to the finance in full, included in the budget, and managed by two lines of revenue and expenditure. When the people's court collects litigation fees, it shall issue payment vouchers to the parties, and the parties shall pay the fees at the designated agent bank with the payment vouchers. If it should be returned to the parties according to law, the people's court shall handle it in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state. The specific measures for the payment and refund of legal fees shall be formulated separately by the Supreme People's Court in conjunction with the financial department of the State Council. In remote, water and inaccessible areas, the grass-roots circuit court hears cases on the spot, and if it is really difficult for the parties to pay the litigation fees to the designated agent bank, the grass-roots circuit court can collect the litigation fees on the spot and issue financial bills uniformly printed by the financial department of the provincial people's government to the parties; If the financial bills uniformly printed by the financial department of the provincial people's government are not issued, the parties concerned have the right to refuse to pay.
