Statutes
This issue still appears to be governed mainly by the case law and precedent provided.
Cases
As a general rule in Pennsylvania, each party to a contract is responsible for its own attorney's fees incurred in resolving a dispute, absent a statute or contractual provision to the contrary. DiGregorio v. Keystone Health Plan E., 840 A. 2d 361, 371 (Pa. Super. 2003). Pennsylvania courts will enforce one party's obligation to pay the other party's attorney's fees if the underlying contract provides for such payment. Putt v. Yates-American Mach. Co., 722 A.2d 217, 226 (Pa. Super. 1998).
