ALABAMA RULES OF JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION

Rule 7.

Fees for miscellaneous filings.

Any filing for which there is no express cost under the consolidated fee

structure shall be treated as an original filing for cost purposes unless the payment

of a docket or filing fee is specifically waived by law.

[Amended 9-28-87, eff. 10-1-87.]

Comment

Ala.Code 1975, Chapter 19 of Title 12, sets out the consolidated fee

structure to which the rule refers. The words “any filing” in this rule have reference

to the words “cases filed” in Ala.Code 1975, Section 12-19-71, and should be read

in conjunction with that Code section. The word “case” has been defined as “a state

of facts which furnishes occasion for the exercise of the jurisdiction of a court of

justice.” State v. Montevallo Coal Mining Company, 29 Ala.App. 318, 197 So. 82,

85 (1940).
