REYES, J.
The term "fees" is defined as a charge fixed by law or by an institution for certain privileges or services.[15] Viewed from this context, the phrase "docket and other fees incidental to instituting an action" refers to the totality of the legal fees imposed under Rule 141[16] of the Rules of Court. In particular, it includes filing or docket fees, appeal fees, fees for issuance of provisional remedies, mediation fees, sheriff's fees, stenographer's fees and commissioner's fees.[17] These are the fees that are exacted for the services rendered by the court in connection with the action instituted before it.
