You pay lawyer, they back off, you're now in the red for lawyer fees. I guess you could sue for damages but good fucking luck

1) Do you have to pay for the lawyer? Can't you object yourself? 2) Shouldn't offending side reimburse the expenses?

In an ideal world. They might even be legally liable in this one. But you still have to sue them to get the money, which is an expensive gamble for a very small pay off.
