Practice question
A party granted indigent authority later obtains a favorable judgment. The opponent argues that the exempted fees necessarily became an unconditional lifetime gift and can never attach to that judgment. The court has made no contrary provision. Which is best?
- Every fee exemption permanently extinguishes the fee
- Only the opponent may collect the fees personally
- The fees are ordinarily a lien on the favorable judgment, so initial exemption does not necessarily mean permanent extinguishment
- The judgment must always be reversed
- The party loses every constitutional right on winning
