No filing fee shall be payable in a criminal proceeding in which the appellant or appellants are represented by the Public Defender.

Forthwith upon the final disposition of any action in an appellate court, the clerk shall send the parties a statement of what portion, if any, of the filing fee or fees mentioned in paragraph (2) of this Rule 76.42 shall be reimbursed by one party to the other, to the end that the costs of each appeal or original action shall be borne by the unsuccessful party or parties. Liability for reimbursement of costs may be enforced on motion without necessity of an independent proceeding.
