250                                            LAWS OF MARYLAND                                [Ch. 2

[[(D)]] (E) DISPOSITION OF COSTS IN CIVIL CASE.

IN A CIVIL CASE THE COURT COSTS SHALL BE DISPOSED
OF IN THE SAME MANNER AS ARE OTHER COSTS IN A CIVIL
CASE HEARD BY THE APPELLATE COURT IN THE EXERCISE OF
ITS ORIGINAL JURISDICTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language
derived from Art. 5, §30(b), (c), and (d).

Subsection (c) has been added to require that
costs and fines in appeals from the District
Court be forwarded to the Circuit Court.
This will expedite refunding fines and costs
to an appellant who wins his appeal. While
§7-206 relates to disposition of fines paid
to the clerk of a circuit court on an appeal,
without subsection (c) nothing requires that
these costs be forwarded for disposition.

Cross reference: For collection and disposition of
costs, fines, penalties and forfeitures in
the District Court see §7-302.

SEC. 7-207. DISPOSITION OF FINES FOR CONTEMPT OF
COURT OF EQUITY.

ALL FINES PAID TO THE CLERK OF THE COURT FOR THE
PURGATION OF CONTEMPT OF A COURT OF EQUITY SHALL BE
PAID BY THE CLERK AT THE END OF EVERY SIX MONTHS TO
THE COUNTY WHERE THE OFFENSE OCCURRED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 38, §6. The reference to Baltimore City
is deleted. Art. 1, §14 construes the word
"county" to include Baltimore City. The only
other changes made are in style.

SUBTITLE 3. DISTRICT COURT.
SEC. 7-301. COURT COSTS.

PARKING AND IMPOUNDING CASES, IN WHICH COSTS ARE
IMPOSED, ARE - $5 EXCEPT THAT IN AN UNCONTESTED
PARKING CASE IN WHICH A FINE IS PAID THROUGH THE
COURT, COSTS ARE - $2.

(B)   CRIMINAL CASE.
