/ˌpiːnəˌlaɪz ɪn kɒsts/ – Phrase
Definition: buộc phải nộp phạt lệ phí tư pháp.
A more thorough explanation: “To penalize in costs” in legal terms means to impose a financial penalty or sanction on a party in a legal case, typically in the form of requiring that party to pay the legal costs incurred by the opposing party. This penalty is often imposed by a court as a consequence of a party’s misconduct, failure to comply with court rules, or other improper behavior during the legal proceedings.
Example: The court ordered the plaintiff to pay the defendant’s legal fees as a way to penalize in costs for bringing a frivolous lawsuit.
