Indiana Collectors v. Conrad

STATON, Presiding Judge.

The Clerk of the Allen Cireuit and Superior Courts requested the Circuit Court to determine whether certain fees are chargeable to litigants in small claims actions. Pursuant to that request, the court authorized the collection of fees "in aid of the jurisdiction" of the small claims court. It then allowed Indiana Collectors to intervene and initiate this appeal, in which one issue is raised:

Whether in addition to the county docket fee other docket and clerk's service fees may be collected from litigants in small claims actions.
