Costs — Taxation — Fee
to
Counsel for settling Notice of Appeal —
Rules of the Supreme Court—Or. LXV.,
r.-2-l
(15)-
This was a summons to review taxation, the
question being whether the Taxing Master was
right in disallowing a fee to counsel for settling
Notice of Appeal. The Master, in answering
the objections carried in by the applicant,
stated that " upon perusal of this notice, which
was in the ordinary form, he saw no reason for
allowing costs for settling the notice."
It was contended upon behalf of the appli
cant that the Master had proceeded on the
wrong principle that the notice ought not to
be settled by counsel.
Order LXV, Rule 27 (15), of the Rules of the
Supreme Court in England, corresponds with
Order LXV, Rule 65 (15), of the Rules of the
Supreme Court of Ireland, 1905.
Eve, J., stated that he did not wish to lay
down any general rule, but he thought it desir
able that Notice of Appeal should be settled by
Counsel. It was important that the machinery
of appeal should be put in proper order ;
that
the appeal should be presented in its best
aspect; and he was of opinion that the fee ought
to be allowed. The Taxing Master relied too
much on the form of notice, and, in that way,
had proceeded on a wrong principle.
The
taxation, therefore, would be varied by allowing
the item.
