If your court claim is allocated to the small claims track (often referred to as the small claims court) then you would not normally be responsible for legal fees if you lose. Equally, EZY would not be responsible for any legal fees if you win. For UK/EU261 claims they will usually be in the small claims track as the dispute relates to money and is worth less than £10,000.
If you use Bott & Co, their fees come out of your damages if you win.
