Who pays if I lose a case in Belgium?

The loser pays the court costs and a fixed procedural indemnity towards the winner's lawyer fees (article 1022 of the Judicial Code), set within statutory brackets according to the value of the claim. The indemnity rarely covers the full fees, and legal expenses insurance is common in Belgium.
