Sec. 5 (2). 1898, No. 42, Sch.

SECOND SCHEDULE. Scale of Costs.

The Court shall determine under which scale the costs of any suit are to be allowed. The costs of any exceptional proceeding—as, for example, of a Commission to take evidence —shall be fixed by the Court by analogy to the scale of costs for the time being to the Code of Civil Procedure in the Supreme Court. When a trial or hearing has extended beyond one day the Court may certify for an extra allowance not exceeding £15 15s. for every day after the first day. In addition to the above, all disbursements for fees of Court, fees of officers, expenses of service, witnesses' expenses actually paid, and all other necessary payments shall be allowed.

By Authority: John Mackay, Government Printer, Wellington.-1904.
