Except as provided in ORS 20.140, and except the fees for which advance payment or a deposit is otherwise required by law, every officer, witness, or other person required to do or perform any act or service for any party to any action, suit or proceeding in a court of justice in this state shall be entitled to demand and receive from such party the compensation which the law allows therefor in advance; but a party may at the option of the party pay the fees of the officers of the court in advance, or give such officers an undertaking with sufficient sureties therefor. The fees secured to the officers, or any of them, by any party to the judgment, may be collected by an execution against the property of such party and that of the sureties of the party in the undertaking therefor. Such officers’ execution may issue in the name of the clerk as plaintiff in the writ, and for the benefit of all officers to whom fees are so due and secured, whenever an execution might issue to enforce the judgment at the instance of the prevailing party. [Amended by 2003 c.576 §288]
