               TITLE 28--JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE
 
                            PART V--PROCEDURE
 
                       CHAPTER 123--FEES AND COSTS
 
Sec. 1925. Admiralty and maritime cases

    Except as otherwise provided by Act of Congress, the allowance and 
taxation of costs in admiralty and maritime cases shall be prescribed by 
rules promulgated by the Supreme Court.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 957.)


                      Historical and Revision Notes

    This section was drafted to make possible the promulgation of 
comprehensive and uniform rules governing costs in admiralty. Various 
enactments of Congress, all over 100 years old, relate to particular 
features of such matter, but do not set forth any comprehensive and 
uniform procedure. See, for example, sections 818, 826, and 827 of title 
28, U.S.C., 1940 ed.
