S.I. NO. 329 of 2000.

RULES OF THE SUPERIOR COURTS (NO. 3) (DOCUMENTATION FOR REVIEW OF TAXATION) 2000

1.     Order 99 rule 38(5) is hereby amended by the deletion of the words “together with the original bill of costs, notice of objections and other material document. The said report and all other documents transmitted therewith shall be returned to the Taxing Master forthwith on the final determination of the said application” and the following shall be substituted in lieu thereof “The party seeking a review of the taxation shall produce for the Court duly certified copies of the original bill of costs, notice of objections and submissions in support of same and any replying submissions and any other material documents”.

2.     This rule shall come into operation on the 19th day of November, 2000 and shall apply to any certificates of taxation issued thereafter and shall be construed together with the Rules of the Superior Courts, 1986 to 1999.

3.     This rule may be cited as the Rules of the Superior Courts (No 3) (Documentation for Review of Taxation), 2000.

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be al legal interpretation).

This Rule removes the requirement, on an application for an Order to review the taxation of costs, on the Taxing Master to transmit to the High Court with his report the original Bill of Costs, notice of objections and any other material documentation and in lieu thereof requires the party seeking a review of taxation to produce to the Court duly certified copies of such documentation and amends Order 99 Rule 38(5) of the Superior Courts Rules accordingly.
