 8104. Costs in consolidated, severed or removed action. Where two or
  more   actions   are   consolidated,  costs  shall  be  awarded  in  the
  consolidated action as if it had been instituted  as  a  single  action,
  unless the order of consolidation otherwise provides. Where an action is
  severed  into  two  or more actions, costs shall be awarded in each such
  action as if it had been instituted as a  separate  action,  unless  the
  order  of  severance  otherwise  provides.  Where  an action is removed,
  except pursuant to subdivision (d) of section three hundred  twenty-five
  of  this chapter, costs in the action shall be awarded as if it had been
  instituted in the court to which it is  removed,  unless  the  order  of
  removal  otherwise provides and as limited by section eighty-one hundred
  two of this chapter. Where an action is removed pursuant to  subdivision
  (d)  of  section three hundred twenty-five of this chapter, costs in the
  action shall be awarded as if it had remained in the court from which it
  was removed, as limited  by  section  eighty-one  hundred  two  of  this
  chapter.
