History
Committee Comments Rule 35 ensures that these rules do not affect the present system designed to provide payment of costs for court-ordered actions and appointments. See, e.g., Ala.Code 1975, § 15-12-21. The rule also makes clear that the Judicial Department accepts no liability or obligation for any costs that arise from the execution or operation of these rules.
