Let's say, in California, a Forbes 500 multi-billionaire wrongdoer has engaged and continues to engage in such fraudulent and/or malicious and oppressive conduct that has made plaintiff and continues to make plaintiff entirely disabled from, impossible or extremely difficult to (i) earn as it is sufficient for the basic necessaries of life and (ii) to afford even housing let alone an attorney, if for the purposes of pre-trial discovery or otherwise, the plaintiff shows that it is substantially probable that they will prevail in a certain cause of action, can that be used enjoined with a Four-Teenth Amendment argument to request reasonable attorney's fees to be provided for such cause of action to be brought before the court or be amended properly as otherwise it is impossible for plaintiff and plaintiff is disable to present his case in equity under Amendment Four-Teen?
If so, is there any close or remotely close authority?
