Waldrip, the lawsuit revolving around an Arkansas antidiscrimination bill, has led to a lot of (at best) confusion or (at worst) purposeful obfuscation by people unwilling or unable to differentiate between procedural issues and the constitutional merits of a case. In other words, reports of the bill’s death have been very much exaggerated.

When Courts Determine Fees In A System With A Loser Pays Norm: Fee Award Denials To Winning Plaintiffs And Defendants, Theodore Eisenberg, Talia Fisher, Issi Rosen-Zvi
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
Under the English rule, the loser pays litigation costs whereas under the American rule, each party pays its own costs. Israel instead vests in its judges full discretion to assess fees and costs as the circumstances may require. Both the English and the American rules have been the subjects of scholarly criticism.

International Law-Legal Capacity Of The United Nations-Assertion Of Claim In Behalf Of Its Agents, Paul E. Anderson S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
In a decision handed down April 11, 1949, the court unanimously answered question I(a) (Can the United Nations sue for damages done to itself?) affirmatively. Question I(b) (Can the United Nations sue for damages done to its agents?) was also answered in the affirmative, but over the dissent of four judges. On question II, the majority of the court asserted that a conflict between the agent's national state and the United Nations would be avoided because the United Nations would be claiming only for breach of the obligation due to it.
