Sixth Circuit Denies Expert Witness Fees as Costs

Per the Myfairdebt.com Forum, the Sixth Circuit held that expert witness fees could not be taxed as costs because 28 U.S.C. 1920 does not so provide.  Some of the expert witnesses expenses for travel and attendance may be recoverable as ordinary witness costs under 28 U.S.C. 1821. L& W Supply Corp. V. Acuity (Jan. 23, 2007), Sixth Circuit Case No. 05-6845.
