(a) In other actions the court may award and tax costs and
apportion them between the parties on the same or adverse sides
as it deems right and equitable. When a civil case is settled
too late for the clerk of court to advise the jury panel that
the jurors should not appear on the date summoned the court may
order that any or all parties reimburse the proper fund for the
fees and mileage paid to the jurors and bailiffs for their
appearance.
(b) In civil actions for which an award of attorney's fees
is authorized, the court in its discretion may award reasonable
attorney's fees to the prevailing party without requiring expert
testimony. In exercising its discretion the court may consider
the following factors:
(i) The time and labor required, the novelty and
difficulty of the questions involved, and the skill requisite to
perform the legal service properly;
(ii) The likelihood that the acceptance of the
particular employment precluded other employment by the lawyer;
(iii) The fee customarily charged in the locality for
similar legal services;
(iv) The amount involved and the results obtained;
(v) The time limitations imposed by the client or by
the circumstances;
(vi) The nature and length of the professional
relationship with the client;
(vii) The experience, reputation and ability of the
lawyer or lawyers performing the services; and
(viii) Whether the fee is fixed or contingent.
