Taxation of Costs in Late-Settling Cases

E.D. Tenn. LR 68.2

Whenever a civil action scheduled for jury trial is settled so late that it is impossible to prevent the Court from incurring juror costs, those costs may, in the discretion of the Court, be assessed against one or more of the parties and/or their counsel. Juror costs include attendance fees, per diem, mileage and parking.
