Any subsequent claim brought before payment of the costs of a discontinued claim, for the same or substantially the same cause of action, the Court may stay until the costs of the discontinued claim have been paid.<\/p>\n
If the amount of costs is not specified in the Schedule of Costs or not agreed, the Court may, on the application of the claimant or respondent, as the case may be, determine the scale of costs to apply.\u00a0 If there is no scale of cost, the Court may determine the amount of costs.<\/p>\n\n
