Is there anything that a court can compel you to pay money for without a verdict?– MazuraCommented Aug 17, 2023 at 1:08

1Sure - for example, they can require that you file briefs citing an expensive transcript. You have to pay for the transcript and for printing out however many copies of everything you file that the Court is ordering to be filed.– WBTCommented Aug 17, 2023 at 2:01

1Is it relevant that the defendant is an attorney in this situation?– BarmarCommented Aug 17, 2023 at 15:16

1It does seem very strange that an attorney (or anyone) would store important documents in a place they can't afford to access. And attorneys usually make good money.– BarmarCommented Aug 17, 2023 at 20:10

1@RichardWard The two are closely linked: the only legal channel to get the transcript costs a lot of money and the order is compelling the spending of money.– WBTCommented Aug 20, 2023 at 2:07

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. united-states), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
