Rule 145
(1) The tribunal may, upon motion or upon its own initiative, allow
a prevailing party in a decision or order to request costs.
(2) If the request is granted, the prevailing party shall file a bill of costs with the clerk within 14 days of the entry of the order allowing costs and furnish a copy of the bill to each party in the case. A party may file a response objecting to the bill of costs or any item in the bill within 14 days after service of the copy of the bill. Failure to file an objection to the bill of costs within the 14-day period constitutes a waiver of any right to object to the bill.
(3) The bill of costs shall state separately each item claimed and the amount claimed and shall be verified by affidavit of the party or representative. The affidavit shall state that each item is correct and was necessarily incurred.
(4) Costs may be awarded to a prevailing party only when provided for by the tribunal in a decision or order.
