61. Costs improperly incurred by advocate
(1)If in any case it appears to the Court or a judge that costs have been incurred improperly or without reasonable cause, or that by reason of any undue delay in proceedings under any judgment or order, or of any misconduct or default of the advocate, any costs properly incurred have proved fruitless to the party on whose behalf the same were incurred, the Court or judge may call on the advocate by whom such costs have been so incurred to show cause why such costs should not be disallowed as between the advocate and his client, and also (if the circumstances of the case shall require) why the advocate should not repay to his client any costs which his client may have been ordered to pay to any other person, and thereupon may make such order as the justice of the case may require.(2)The Court or judge may in any case refer the matter to a taxing officer for inquiry and report and direct the advocate in the first place to show cause before such taxing officer.
