The Court may, on any application or proceedings in or at the hearing and whether the same is objected to or not, direct the costs of any indorsement on a summons, pleading, affidavit or any other document, which is improper, or contains vexatious or unnecessary matter, or is of unnecessary length, to be disallowed.<\/p>\n
Alternatively it \u00a0may direct the Legal Costs Adjudicator to look into the same and to disallow the costs thereof or of such part thereof as he finds to be improper, or to contain vexatious or unnecessary matter, or to be of unnecessary length. In such case, the party whose costs are so disallowed shall pay the costs occasioned thereby to the other party.<\/p>\n
In any case where it has not been dealt with by the Court, it shall be the duty of the Legal Costs Adjudicator to look into the reasonableness of any indorsement on a summons, pleading, affidavit or any other document as if he had been specially directed to do so.<\/p>\n
In any case in which a party entitled to receive costs is liable to pay costs to any other party, the Legal Costs Adjudicator may adjudicate the costs such party is so liable to pay, and may adjust the same by way of deduction or set off without any order of the court.<\/p>\n\n
