Rule 34.14 Fees and expenses of examiner of the courtF2I1
England and Wales
An examiner of the court may charge a fee for the examination.
He need not send the deposition to the court unless the fee is paid.
The examiner’s fees and expenses must be paid by the party who obtained the order for examination.
If the fees and expenses due to an examiner are not paid within a reasonable time, he may report that fact to the court.
The court may order the party who obtained the order for examination to deposit in the court office a specified sum in respect of the examiner’s fees and, where it does so, the examiner will not be asked to act until the sum has been deposited.
An order under this rule does not affect any decision as to the party who is ultimately to bear the costs of the examination.
