Fees and Costs where Plaintiffs

Join or Actions Are Consolidated (a) Where plaintiffs join under Section 9-4, or actions are consolidated, and the case is claimed for the jury, there shall be but one jury fee, except that if separate jury trials are ordered, a jury fee shall be paid for each such trial. (b) Each party who prevails shall be entitled to recover from the losing party or parties indemnity, trial and witness fees to the same extent as though the plaintiffs who have several rights had brought separate actions. (P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 421.)
