Oh. Well, I must say that this was very far from being
the first interpretation of the word "bill" that sprang
to mind when I saw it.

I wasn't even aware of this meaning of the term "legal
bill" (although admittedly I'm not used to living in a
country where the laws vary wildly from one place
to another).
