***FOR PUBLICATION IN WEST'S HAWAII REPORTS AND PACIFIC REPORTER*** <br /> Casualty Co . , 81 Hawaii 105, 109, 912 2. 2d 602, 606 (App. 1996) , <br /> the [ICA] concluded. 'that disbursements for computerized 'Legal <br /> research such as Westlaw are a component of attorney fees and are <br /> not taxable' " because those costs " 'are properly reflected as <br /> part of the law firm' s overhead and, as such, are a factor to be <br /> included in the setting of attorneys fees as opposed to ordinary <br /> costs . ' " (Quoting id. at 107 , 912 P. 2d at 604 . ) According to <br /> the County, this court has also "adopted the position that <br /> `disbursements for computerized legal research . . . are a <br /> component of attorney fees and are not taxable costs . "' (Quoting <br /> DFS Group, 110 Hawaii at 224 , 131 P. 3d at 507 . ) <br /> Appellant acknowledges that this court has held that <br /> legal research expenses are not recoverable as court costs, as <br /> they are more appropriately considered part of the overhead that <br /> is already subsumed within an attorney' s hourly rate. See DFS <br /> Group, 110 Hawaii at 224 , 131 P. 3d. at 507 (agreeing with the <br /> ICA' s ruling and thereby "conclud [ing] that the computer-assisted <br /> research charges in the present case are not recoverable as <br /> separately billed attorneys' fees") . Appellant maintains, <br /> however, that it is "entitled to recover those [legal research] <br /> expenses as 'other reasonable expenses' under [HRS §] 101-27 [ , ] " <br /> because "the property owner is 'entitled' to be made economically <br /> whole . " <br /> Appellant' s rationale disregards this court' s and the <br /> ICA' s reasoning for not allowing computer-assisted research <br /> 17 <br />
