Who pays if I lose a case in Portugal?

The losing party normally bears the court costs, which include a limited contribution to the winner's lawyer fees, in proportion to how far it lost (article 527 of the Code of Civil Procedure). People without means can ask the Social Security institute for legal protection, which covers lawyer fees and court costs.
