No. 83-803.

348 N.W.2d 230 (1984)

WEAVER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, Appellee, v. George HEITLAND, d/b/a Heitland Construction Company, Appellant.

Supreme Court of Iowa.

May 16, 1984.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lee B. Blum, Hampton, for appellant.

James P. Walters, of High & Walters, Iowa Falls, for appellee.

Considered by REYNOLDSON, C.J., and McCORMICK, SCHULTZ, CARTER and WOLLE, JJ.


WOLLE, Justice.

Defendant's appeal raises two questions requiring us to interpret the Iowa statute governing offers to confess judgment. Defendant availed itself of one of the four methods which Iowa Code chapter 677 (1983) provides for shifting "costs" of an action to a plaintiff who rejects a defendant's formal offer to confess judgment. See generally Sheer Construction, Inc. v. W. Hodgman and Sons, Inc., 326 N.W.2d 328
