P1035 An award of costs to a successful party in litigation may include expenses for videotaping depositions, and travel expenses for attorneys to attend depositions, but may not include the cost of extra copies of depositions, and may not include the cost of photocopying exhibits not used at trial; an offer to compromise for a stated sum plus statutory costs including attorneys' fees in the amount determined by the court was sufficiently certain to be valid under Code of Civil Procedure section 998; determining what fees are reasonable for an award under the section requires consideration of the offeree's economic resources.CitationSEEVER v COPLEY (Costs Award) 141 CA4 1550 [See: CCP 998, 1033.5; Applegate v St Francis 23 CA4 361, T/AT 4/94]
