| "Costs are certain allowances authorized by statute to reimburse the successful party for expenses incurred in prosecuting or defending an action or special proceedings."[67] These costs have their own legal meaning and import, for, as it was said, 'costs are in the nature of incidental damages allowed to the successful party to indemnify him against the expense of asserting his rights in court, when the necessity of so doing was caused by other's breach of legal duty."'[68] | |||||
