If they file suit, and try to get the money before its been determined that BP violated regs, then yes they will have to either pay the costs to lay out the case that regs where violated, or have their lawyers convince the court that the cap doesn't apply for some other reason. (Assuming the cap payouts have already been reached, and that BP fought to have the cap imposed, which it isn't). But after such a determination by the government then the cap would simply be inapplicable and would not impose any additional costs or burdens on plaintiffs.
