N.Y. Uniform District Court Act § 1907: Taxation of costs and disbursements

§ 1907. Taxation of costs and disbursements.

Costs, together with fees paid to the clerk and the fee for issuing

execution to the enforcement officer, must be taxed by the clerk

forthwith upon rendition of judgment and inserted therein. Upon issuing

a transcript the clerk shall include therein the prospective fees of the

county clerk and sheriff. Other taxable disbursements shall be taxed by

the clerk on two days' notice to be given by the party entitled thereto

to the adverse party. The clerk shall also tax costs allowed by an

appellate court and shall enter all items of costs and disbursements in

the docket book. All disbursements taxable on notice must be verified by

affidavit. The clerk must examine all items presented to him for

taxation and, before allowing any disbursements, must be satisfied that

the items were necessarily incurred or that the services for which they

are charged were necessarily performed.
