§ 927 Certain costs taxed at discretion of court.

When a party asks for something during a lawsuit, like a motion, a delay in the case, or a change to their paperwork, there can be extra costs involved. This rule says the judge gets to decide who pays those costs, unless another law already spells it out.

This means the judge has flexibility. If someone files a motion or asks for a continuance, the judge can order that person to cover the costs tied to that request. Or the judge might decide the other side should pay, or split the costs between both parties. It really depends on the situation and what the judge thinks is fair.

For people involved in a case, this means you can't always predict who will end up paying for these smaller procedural costs. It's worth asking your attorney how this might apply to your specific situation, especially if you're planning to file a motion or request a delay in your case.
