Article 277
Taxation of Bill · Preserved transcription; page attribution imported from the source collection. Verify against the original.
After considering the bill and hearing the parties, the court may reduce the bill as to costs which the court determines were not reasonably incurred or were not reasonable and proportionate to the amount of the suit.
Where the party entitled to costs has failed to file a bill, the court shall, after recording such, certify the costs of the other parties or may allow the defaulting party a nominal or other sum so as to prevent any other party being prejudiced by such default.
Costs shall carry interest at the legal rate as from the day of the judgment until final settlement.
