RULE 421. COUNSEL FEES ON TAKING DEPOSITIONS AT DISTANT PLACES

When a proposed deposition upon oral examinations, including a deposition before action or pending appeal or an examination under Fed.R.Bankr.P. 2004, is sought to be taken at a place more than 150 miles from the courthouse, the court may provide in the order that, prior to the examination, the applicant pay necessary and reasonable expenses and counsel fees of the attendance at the place where the deposition is to be taken of one attorney for each adverse party. The amounts so paid shall be a taxable cost in the event that the applicant recovers costs of the action or proceeding.

Committee Note: This rule is based on local Civil Rule 4A. Section B of that rule is not applicable in bankruptcy.
