This part applies to costs in disputed cases. Costs associated with cases settled before hearing may be recovered by agreement in a stipulation or retainer agreement.
Before submitting a formal request for payment or reimbursement of costs and disbursements, an informal request should be made by the taxing party on the party from whom reimbursement is sought. If agreement cannot be reached on all items, the taxing party may then proceed formally, including in the formal request an indication of those costs agreed upon.
The taxing party shall serve the request for taxation of costs and disbursements upon the parties.
An opposing party has ten working days from the date of service upon him or her to serve and file a formal objection to taxation or allowance.
If a party requests a hearing on costs, the office shall schedule a hearing and give notice of the hearing to the parties.
