A news agency journalist says the Mail and Telegraph have racked up around £100,000 in legal fees defending claims for picture usage worth less than £200.
The case centres around the long-standing practice of news agencies billing retrospectively on a per-use basis for words and images sent out to publications.
Costs have mounted as the publishers have employed specialist external legal counsel to fight the small claims court cases in hearings and exchanges of legal letters.
