Bill Of Costs {LF-41}

LF-41 - BILL OF COSTS. This form is used in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida by a prevailing party in a bankruptcy case or appeal to request reimbursement of specific litigation-related expenses. The form is submitted to the bankruptcy clerk pursuant to Local Rule 7054-1 (for trial-level cases) or Local Rule 8021-1 (for appellate cases), and must comply with the court's Guidelines for Taxation of Costs by the Clerk. It itemizes allowable costs incurred during litigation—such as court filing fees, fees for serving process, transcript and court reporter fees, witness fees, copying and exemplification costs, and deposition-related expenses. The submitting attorney must sign a declaration under penalty of perjury affirming that the costs listed were necessary, correct, and performed in accordance with applicable law. The clerk then reviews the submission, and if approved, the taxed costs are added to the judgment amount against the non-prevailing party. The form also includes a section for calculating witness fees according to statutory rates. www.FormsWorkflow.com
