Plain-English Summary
Section 862 confirms that the clerk's work in these proceedings isn't unpaid. The clerk is allowed such fees for these services as are allowed for similar services in other cases, the same "like services" standard Section 861 sets for sheriffs, referees, receivers, and witnesses generally.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the court clerk get paid separately for handling these post-judgment proceedings?
Yes. Section 862 allows the clerk fees equal to what's allowed for similar services in other cases.
Is this the same standard used for other court officers under this article?
Yes, it mirrors the "like services in other cases" standard Section 861 sets for clerks, sheriffs, referees, receivers, and witnesses generally.
Are these fees collected the same way as the other compensation this article allows?
Section 861 taxes that compensation as costs and lets the judge order its collection from whichever party should pay, and Section 862 fits the clerk's fees into that same framework.
