Filing cases is often free for volunteer-run charities due to fee waivers
The filing fee isn’t the issue—getting to a proper complaint in an impact-litigation case generally requires a lot of resources. Consider, for instance, LIC’s 58-page complaint in the Costco case.
But if the resource was time, which in SPI’s case is free as they are volunteers, then having filed a case is consistent with operating on no budget or a shoestring budget, because of free waivers.
