§ 978 Costs on appeal.

When someone wins an appeal and gets a judgment or order reversed, they get their money back for the costs of the appeal. This includes the cost of preparing the transcript or case record that had to be filed with the appeal paperwork. The person who wins the appeal doesn't have to pay for these expenses out of pocket in the end.

If the appeal is a mixed result, meaning part of the lower court's decision is reversed and part is upheld, then the costs get split evenly between both sides. Neither party has to pay the full amount, and neither one gets fully paid back. Each side covers half.
