https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-47400641"Donald Trump's Aberdeenshire golf resort must pay the Scottish government's legal costs following a court battle over a major North Sea wind power development.
Mr Trump battled unsuccessfully in the courts to halt the project before he became US president.
A total of 11 turbines make up the development off Aberdeen.
Judges have now ruled Trump International Golf Club Scotland Ltd should pay the legal bills incurred.
Mr Trump had argued the development would spoil the view from his golf course at Menie.
The ruling at the Court of Session stemmed from the case going to the UK Supreme Court in December 2015."

Hope he has to pay bigly for his over the top sense of entitlement law suits.

of course, ignoring that at least for now Scotland is part of the UK

According to the GOP, such a thing would be legal and moral!

(1,249 posts)9. Does Trump pay legal costs, ever?
Trump was ordered to pay Christopher Steele's legal costs.
Did he pay that either?

Found online:
In April 2025, a UK court ruled that Trump must pay over £625,000 (around $820,000) in legal costs to Orbis Business Intelligence, according to The Guardian. This amount includes the initial fees plus additional costs related to the dispute over the legal bill.
My question becomes can Christopher Steele place a lien on Trump's properties?
