In case of the trial of an issue between the plaintiff and any garnishee, costs are awarded to the plaintiff and against the garnishee in addition to the garnishee's liability if the plaintiff recovers more than the garnishee admitted by the garnishee's answer; and if the plaintiff does not, the garnishee shall recover costs of the plaintiff. In all other cases under this chapter not expressly provided for, the court may award costs in favor of or against any party in its discretion. When no issue is tried the costs of the garnishee action shall be taxed for the plaintiff in the garnishment action.
