ITEM 2C | WHO IS ENTITLED TO OR RESPONSIBLE FOR COURT COSTS ON APPEAL?
It is important to understand that court costs are different from attorney’s fees, and different rules apply to costs. Costs include things like filing fees and the cost of the transcript or appellate record. More specifically, Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.400(a) provides that the party who prevails in the appeal is entitled to recover certain costs incurred in the appeal, including: costs for filing and for service of process, charges for the lower tribunal clerk’s preparation of the record, any necessary hearing or trial transcripts, bond premiums, and other costs that the law permits.
You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.
For instance, you might need to examine this handbook in order to protect yourself from judges/lawyers/organizations who break the law (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).
Nevertheless – and as always – please get the justice you deserve.
Sincerely,
