The rules for using a court reporter vary somewhat between counties. See, e.g., Nevada County ("Unless the court orders otherwise, the court does not provide court reporters for civil law and motion hearings and case management conferences at the court's expense. Any litigant who wants a record of a law and motion matter or a case management conference must arrange for the presence of a court reporter at his or her expense." (Local Rule 10.00.3B).)
Recovery of court reporter fees is generally allowable. (Heppler v. J.M. Peters Co. (1999) 73 Cal.App.4th 1265, 1298.) Code of Civil Procedure section 1033.5(a)(11) allows for recovery of court reporter fees “as established by statute.” Conversely, Code of Civil Procedure section 1033.5(b)(5) disallows recovery of costs for transcripts of court proceedings “not ordered by the court.”
Government Code section 68086(d) states that “if an official court reporter is not available, a party may arrange for, at the party’s expense, the presence of a certified shorthand reporter to serve as an official pro tempore reporter…. The fees and charges of the certified shorthand report shall be recoverable as taxable costs by the prevailing party as otherwise provided by law.”
Court's have rejected plaintiff's argument that defendant can only recover the statutory fees associated with court reporter appearances. To the contrary, "the legislature provided in [Government Code] section 68086 an express exemption from statutory court reporter attendance fees for parties who retain a private reporter to serve as an official reporter pro tempore...." (Burd v. Barkley Court Reporters, Inc. (2017) 17 Cal.App.5th 1037, 1047.)
An appellant may serve and file a motion to use a settled statement on a showing that there was no reporter’s transcript for the hearing. (Rules of Ct., Rule 8.137(b).)
Under Bus. & Prof. Code, Sec. 8016,
No person shall engage in the practice of shorthand reporting as defined in this chapter, unless that person is the holder of a certificate in full force and effect issued by the board. This section does not apply to a salaried, full-time employee of any department or agency of the state who is employed as a hearing reporter.
