Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
When
collection of any fee bill is
attempted, the dissatisfied party
may stay the enforcement of the fee bill by giving
to the officer attempting collection,
bond with sufficient sureties, to be approved by such
officer, in the amount of such fee bill, conditioned for the
payment of such fee bill if the same is not quashed; and upon receiving
such bond, such officer shall forthwith return the fee bill and bond to
the court. If it appears to the court that any item or charge contained
in such fee bill is not authorized by law, or is for services not
actually rendered, or any item is charged in an amount which is higher than
is allowed by law,
the court shall quash such fee bill and bond, and correct
the taxation of the costs for which such fee bill was issued, and upon
such correction being made, such costs may be collected in the same manner
as judgments for the payment of money are enforced.
