In response to the losing petitioner paying the defendant, I heard of a 
malpractice case in Florida around 1978 where the jury recommended that
the doctor be awarded a ridiculous sum from the patient and the lawyer
when they found him not guilty.  It could set an interesting precedent.

I also read somewhere that in Saudi Arabia if you accuse somebody of
a crime, for example drinking, and it turns out to be false, you will
be punished for the same penalty as if you had commited the crime
