Rule 134 Shorthand writers

The court may in writing nominate a person to be official shorthand writer to the court.

The court may, at any time in the course of T&S administration proceedings, appoint a shorthand writer to take down evidence of a person examined under section 236 of the 1986 Act.

The remuneration of a shorthand writer appointed in T&S administration proceedings must be paid by the party at whose instance the appointment was made, or out of the assets of the T&S company or otherwise, as the court may direct.

Any question arising as to the rates of remuneration payable under this rule must be determined by the court.
