Taxation of costs

5.39—(1) All bills of costs under the orders of the Judicial Committee shall be taxed by the Registrar, or such other person as the Judicial Committee may appoint.

(2) The amount of costs which a party shall be entitled to cover shall be the amount allowed after taxation on the standard basis unless it appears to the Judicial Committee to be appropriate to order costs to be taxed on the indemnity basis.

(3) On a taxation of costs on the standard basis there shall be allowed a reasonable amount in respect of all costs reasonably incurred and any doubts which the taxing officer may have as to whether the costs were reasonably incurred or were reasonable in amount shall be resolved in favour of the paying party.

(4) On a taxation on the indemnity basis all costs shall be allowed except in so far as they are of an unreasonable amount or have been unreasonably incurred and any doubts which the taxing officer may have as to whether the costs were reasonably incurred or were reasonable in amount shall be resolved in favour of the receiving party.

(5) Any party aggrieved by a taxation may require the Registrar to review his decision.

(6) Any party aggrieved by the Registrar’s review may appeal by notice of motion to the Judicial Committee.
