(2) Where costs are incurred in accordance with and subject to the limit imposed by a prior authority given under regulation 59, 60 or 61, no question shall be raised on any taxation as to the amount of the payment to be allowed for the step or act in relation to which the authority was given unless the solicitor or the assisted person knew or ought reasonably to have known that the purpose for which the authority was given had failed or become irrelevant or unnecessary before the costs were incurred.
(3) Without prejudice to regulation 59, where costs are incurred in instructing a Queen’s Counsel or more than one counsel, without authority to do so having been given in the certificate or under regulation 59(1), no payment in respect of those costs shall be allowed on any taxation unless it is also allowed on an inter partes taxation.
