Except where the court for good cause shown directs otherwise, costs of the appeal shall be assessed as follows: If the appellant wins in the appellate court, that court shall tax the docket fee and the cost of the record on appeal in appellant’s favor. If the appellant is the losing party, the appellant shall stand the cost of the record on appeal including the cost of any part thereof supplied by the respondent and found necessary. In those cases where the appellant takes an appeal to review only legal questions pertaining to instructions, given or refused, and the evidence is unnecessary to the determination of the cause, but the respondent requests the appellant to include the evidence in the record on appeal, then the cost of supplying such evidence shall be taxed against the respondent.

Counsel preparing the record shall certify the cost of preparing the legal file and any relevant subportions thereof and shall indicate which parties ordered the subportions thereof.

The cost of preparing the transcript shall be certified thereon by the reporter. Transcript costs will be allowed for all copies of transcripts required by these rules.
