Fees that the courts pass on to lawyers, who then pass them on to their clients or to the losing party. Court fees typically include: filing fees, fees for serving subpoenas and sub-pensions, court reporters` fees for testimony (which can be very expensive), court records, and copies of documents and exhibits. The successful party in a dispute is usually awarded legal costs. Lawyers` fees can only be included as court costs if there is a law that provides for the granting of attorneys` fees in a particular type of case, or if the case was a contract that included a lawyer`s fee clause (often found in promissory notes, mortgages and fiduciary deeds). If an unsuccessful party does not agree with the legal costs claimed (which are included in a statement of costs submitted), they may bring the judge to “tax costs” (i.e. reduce or not allow costs), resulting in a hearing where the court determines which costs are eligible in what amount (how much). Verb. [`ˈfiː`] give a tip or tip in exchange for a service, beyond the agreed compensation.
