Who is responsible for paying for a Court Reporter?
|
Date : 4/15/2009
|
|
|
First, the person or party who hires a reporter to record the proceedings pays the attendance fee, which is separate from the transcription labor cost and is determined by how many hours the reporter works. Next, the person or party who requests a transcript of the proceedings is responsible for payment, and the fee is determined by the number of pages and method of delivery.
