Discretion of the court in allowing costs. Except as limited by this section, in other actions in the district court, part or all of the prevailing party’s costs may be allowed and may be apportioned between the parties, or on the same or adverse sides. If, in the judgment of the court, the plaintiff believes he was justified in bringing the action in the district court, and he recovers at least $700 in money or damages, or personal property of that value, the court may allow the plaintiff part or all of his costs.
