Description
Per Curiam. Appellee recognizes that the general American rule does not permit the prevailing party to recover attorney fees, in the absence of statutory authorization, as part of the costs of litigation. See Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. v. Wilderness Society (1975), 421 U.S. 240, 44 L.Ed.2d 141, 147; F. D. Rich Co. Industrial Lumber Co. (1974), 417 U.S. 116, 126. See, also, 1 Speiser, Attorneys' Fees, Section 12.1, 12.3 (1973). This rule is followed in Ohio. See Shuey v. Preston (1961), 172 Ohio St. 413; State ex rel. Michaels v. Morse (1956), 165 Ohio St. 599; Euclid v. Vogelin (1950), 152 Ohio St. 538; State ex rel. Beebe v. Cowley (1927), 116 Ohio St. 377. The rationale behind the creation and perpetuation of the aforesaid rule is that [t]he subject of costs is one entirely of statutory allowance and control. State ex rel. Michaels v. Morse, supra (165 Ohio St. at 607).
