TITLE 28--JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE
PART V--PROCEDURE
CHAPTER 123--FEES AND COSTS
Sec. 1925. Admiralty and maritime cases
Except as otherwise provided by Act of Congress, the allowance and
taxation of costs in admiralty and maritime cases shall be prescribed by
rules promulgated by the Supreme Court.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 957.)
Historical and Revision Notes
This section was drafted to make possible the promulgation of
comprehensive and uniform rules governing costs in admiralty. Various
enactments of Congress, all over 100 years old, relate to particular
features of such matter, but do not set forth any comprehensive and
uniform procedure. See, for example, sections 818, 826, and 827 of title
28, U.S.C., 1940 ed.
