Costs Included in Judgments

Except as otherwise provided herein, in all appeals or writs of error which go to judgment in the Supreme or Appellate Court including an order for a new trial, costs shall be taxed to the prevailing party by the appellate clerk, in the absence of special order to the contrary by the court. On all reservations the mandate which follows the opin- ion of the court will specify what costs shall be taxed. A bill of costs shall be filed with the appel- late clerk no more than thirty days after the notice of the appellate decision, or, of the denial of a motion for reconsideration, or, of the denial of a petition for certification by the Supreme Court of this state, whichever is latest. (P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 4118.) (Amended July 21, 1999, to take effect Jan. 1, 2000.)
