German term or phrase: legal sentence- geschlagen/wettgeschlagen
"Die Kosten von $100 werden zur Hauptsache geschlagen."
(What does it mean "zur Hauptsache geschlagen"?) This is a legal paper in Swiss German.
Another use in the text is "Die Parteikosten werden wettgeschlagen".

"geschlagen" - or "wettgeschlagen"??? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
