A quick definition of increase, costs of:

When someone wins a court case, they may be awarded some money to cover their legal costs. However, sometimes these costs are not enough to cover all the expenses that were incurred during the trial. In this case, the winning party can file an affidavit of increase to request additional costs from the losing party. These additional costs are called costs of increase or costs de incremento.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Costs of increase refer to the costs of court awarded 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 setting forth what further costs were incurred.

Examples:

  • After winning the case, the plaintiff filed an affidavit of increase to recoup the costs of hiring expert witnesses and conducting research.
  • The defendant was awarded $10,000 in damages, but also filed for costs of increase to cover the expenses of their legal team.

These examples illustrate how costs of increase are additional costs incurred by a party after winning a case. They are not automatically awarded by the jury and must be claimed through an affidavit of increase.
