§ 619 Compensation.

When a court appoints a referee to help with a case, the referee gets paid for that work. The judge decides how much is fair to pay them. This payment isn't a separate bill to one side. Instead, it gets added to the overall costs of the case, which means it becomes part of what the losing side (or whoever is responsible for costs) has to pay when the case wraps up.

This rule basically protects referees by guaranteeing they'll be compensated for their time and effort. It also gives the judge control over deciding what amount makes sense, so the payment stays reasonable and tied to the actual work done. For people involved in the lawsuit, it means they should expect referee fees to show up as part of the final cost tally, not as a separate charge they negotiate directly with the referee.
