Once bitten was enough for me. Models are required to sign an agreement, whereby travel related costs are considered a loan, making the model legally responsible for whatever normal expenses are incurred. There is a clause that makes the winning party responsible for legal/court/collection related costs. Only twice (sigh of relief) we had no choice but to go to small claims court and obtain a judgement and garnishment order. Both times we delivered the orders to a model agency who respected the order and held the monies for us.
