costs de incremento

Read a random definition: federation

A quick definition of costs de incremento:

Costs de incremento refer to the additional costs awarded by a court in addition to what a jury awards. When a party wins a case, the jury usually awards them only a small sum for costs. If the party wishes to recoup the additional costs incurred by taking the matter through trial, they must file an affidavit of increase, which sets forth what further costs were incurred. These costs are also known as costs of increase.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Costs de incremento, also known as costs of increase, refer to the costs awarded by the court in addition to the amount awarded by a jury. When a party wins a case, the jury usually awards them a small sum for costs. However, if the party incurred additional costs by taking the matter through trial, they can file an affidavit of increase to recoup those costs.

Examples: Let's say a plaintiff wins a case and the jury awards them $10,000 in damages. However, the plaintiff also incurred $2,000 in legal fees and other expenses while taking the case to trial. In this case, the plaintiff can file an affidavit of increase to request the court to award them an additional $2,000 in costs de incremento.

Another example could be a copyright infringement case where the plaintiff wins and is awarded $50,000 in damages by the jury. However, the plaintiff also incurred additional costs such as expert witness fees, travel expenses, and court fees. In this case, the plaintiff can file an affidavit of increase to request the court to award them the additional costs incurred.

Explanation: These examples illustrate how costs de incremento work in practice. When a party wins a case, they may not always recoup all the costs they incurred while taking the matter through trial. Costs de incremento provide a way for parties to recover these additional costs by filing an affidavit of increase and requesting the court to award them the amount incurred.
