9. When the Court considers it to be impracticable to determine summarily the amount of any costs which it has
adjudged or ordered to be paid, all questions relating thereto may either be determined upon taxation by the
Court itself or may be referred by the Court to a taxing master and be ascertained by him and approved by the
Court.
10. Upon any taxation of costs, the taxing master may, in determining the remuneration to be allowed, have
regard, subject to any Rule of Court, to the skill, labour and responsibility involved.
11. In taxation of costs between party and party, nothing shall be allowed in respect of fees paid to the Court
beyond what was necessary having regard to the amount recovered on judgment.
12. If upon the taxation of any bill of costs, more than one-sixth is deduced from the amount claimed, the Court
may either make no order as to the costs of the taxation or may order the party who filed the bill of costs to pay
to the other party or parties the costs of taxation.
13. Where a plaintiff is successful in any action which might have been brought by him in an inferior tribunal,
the Court may take, into account the smaller costs which would have been evolved to the parties to the action if
it had been taken in such inferior tribunal and may, in its discretion, grant to the successful plaintiff modified
costs or no costs and may grant to any other party such extra costs as the Court is satisfied such other party has
incurred by reason of the action being taken in the Court instead of in the inferior tribunal, unless the Court is of
opinion that the action was one which for some special reason it was proper to bring in the Court.
