If the plaintiff is a poor person, the court may permit the plaintiff to commence and prosecute the civil action without making a cost deposit or furnishing security for costs.
Mo. R. Civ. P. 77.03
Committee Note - 1981
This is substantially the same as that portion of prior Rule 77.04 preceding the first semi-colon.
The remainder of prior Rule 77.04 was deleted because it does not pertain to costs.
