648. A creditor who, having received the notice provided for in article 642, institutes an action and obtains judgment in accordance with articles 192 and 194, shall not, without permission of a judge of the court which rendered the judgment, recover his costs. Such permission, applied for by motion supported by affidavit and served upon the debtor, shall not be granted unless it is shown to the satisfaction of the judge that the creditor was justified in instituting the action, by reason of the nature of his claim or of other special circumstances. No costs shall be awarded on such motion, unless the debtor contests it.
