	Law of costs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The law of costs is typical of common law jurisdictions.
		In summary, the winner of litigation is entitled to seek an order that the loser pays for his or her reasonably incurred legal costs and disbursements.
		An officer of the court will then assess the reasonableness of the costs with reference to a statutory schedule of limits of entitlements of costs, together with legal precedent, if the costs cannot be agreed between the parties.

	John Law
		John Law was a "reckless, and unbalanced, but most fascinating genius" as Alfred Marshall (1923: p.41) called him, with "the pleasant character mixture of swindler and prophet" as Karl Marx (1894: p.441) added.
		Law proposed the establishment of a state-chartered bank with the power to issue unbacked paper currency (see here for pictures of notes), the Banque Générale, which was established in 1716.
		Law's note-issuing bank was a spectacular success -- until it collapsed after a bank run in 1720, plunging France and Europe into a severe economic crisis, which had an important role in setting the stage for the later French Revolution.

	New Tax-Cut Law Ultimately Costs as Much as Bush Plan - Rev. 6/27/01
		The tax-cut law complies on paper with the budget targets only because all of the tax cuts in the legislation sunset — or expire — at the end of 2010; as a result, the new law is able to meet an 11-year target by simply leaving out much of the last year's costs.
		If the cost of the new law were not artificially lowered by leaving out various tax-cut measures whose enactment is inevitable and by relying on artificial sunsets, it would cost $1.8 trillion over the 11 years from 2001 through 2011.
		That growth probably reflected the fact that under prior law, the amount of an estate that was exempt from taxation was not indexed for inflation; as estates grew with inflation, a greater share of their assets thus would have become subject to the estate tax.

		Yet the law does not distinguish among public companies, the vast majority of which are small and mid-cap companies.

	Lord v. Customized Consulting Specialty, Inc., (03-848) 06/15/2004
		Costs assessed under N.C.G.S. § 7A_305 must be awarded in a voluntary dismissal, while common law costs awarded under N.C.G.S. § 6-20 are in the discretion of the court.
		Deposition costs are not allowed under N.C.G.S. § 7A_305(d), and the trial court did not abuse its discretion by not allowing reimbursement of those costs to a third-party defendant after plaintiff's voluntary dismissal.
		For this reason, the third party defendant is a prevailing party for the purposes of taxing costs, and awarding costs to the third party defendant when the defendant prevails against the plaintiff is proper.

	Savings in California Marijuana Law Enforcement Costs Attributab
		The fiscal costs of California marijuana law enforcement began to escalate dramatically in the mid- 1960's as mainly young, White, middle-class marijuana offenders flooded the criminal justice system, replacing older, nonWhite heroin addicts as the typical drug offenders in the state (Aldrich, Mikuriya and Brownell 1986: 2-9).
		The average cost per misdemeanor arrest was obtained by dividing the cost per felony arrest by three, and misdemeanor marijuana arrest expenditures were calculated by multiplying the number of marijuana arrests by the cost per misdemeanor arrest for each year.
		These costs were then multiplied by the number of prisoners and parolees whose most serious convicted offense was a marijuana charge (also provided by the Department of Corrections) to determine the cost of marijuana-related prison and parole for each year from 1974 through 1985.

	Advisory Legal Opinion - Law Enforcement Officers, costs & attorney fees
		According to your letter, two municipal law enforcement officers have sought reimbursement from the City of Miami for costs and attorney’s fees incurred in defending the officers against criminal charges brought against the officers in unrelated criminal cases.
		"Law enforcement officer" is defined in the statute to mean "any person employed full time by any municipality or the state or any political subdivision thereof or any deputy sheriff whose primary responsibility is the prevention and detection of crime or the enforcement of the penal, traffic, or highway laws of this state."[1]
		(e.s.) Moreover, in response to claims that the "common law" required reimbursement, the court held that "[i]f the common law did require it, then that has been changed by statute."[3] Thus, reimbursement is governed by the statute, not by the common law.
