Rule 54 - Judgment; Costs(a) Definition. "Judgment" as used in these Rules includes any order from which an appeal lies.(b) Judgment upon multiple claims. When more than 1 claim for relief is presented in an action, whether as a claim, counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party claim, the Court may direct the entry of a final judgment upon 1 or more but fewer than all of the claims or parties only upon an express determination that there is not just reason for delay and upon an express direction for the entry of judgment. In the absence of such determination and direction, any order or other form of decision, however designated, which adjudicates fewer than all the claims or the rights and liabilities of fewer than all the parties shall not terminate the action as to any of the claims, or parties and the order or other form of decision is subject to revision at any time before the entry of judgment adjudicating all the claims and the rights and liabilities of all the parties.(c) Demand for judgment. A judgment by default shall not be different in kind from or exceed in amount that prayed for in the demand for judgment. Except as to a party against whom a judgment is entered by default, every final judgment shall grant the relief to which the party in whose favor it is rendered is entitled, even if the party has not demanded such relief in the party's pleadings.(d) Costs. Except when express provision therefor is made either in a statute or in these Rules, costs shall be allowed as of course to the prevailing party unless the Court otherwise directs. The costs in any action shall not include any charge for the Court's copy of the transcript of the testimony or any depositions.(e) Unnecessary costs. If at any time during the progress of an action it appears to the Court that the amount claimed is exorbitant so that the opposite party is put to unnecessary expense in giving bond, or if any party unnecessarily swells the record or otherwise causes unnecessary expense, the Court may, in its discretion, order such unnecessary expense to be taxed against the party causing the same, without regard to the outcome of the action.(f) Appearance fees abolished. No appearance fees for attorneys will be permitted or taxed as costs in any action or cause in the Court of Chancery.
