Rule 5B [ Taxation of costs pursuant to an order under Part V of the Solicitors (Northern Ireland) Order 1976

Any party to a taxation under Rule 5A who is dissatisfied with the decision of the [^f1 district judge] may within 14 days after the taxation request the [ district judge] to review his decision.

A request under paragraph (1) shall be made in writing specifying the item or items objected to and the nature and grounds of the objection and the party making the request shall serve a copy on each other party to the taxation.

On the making of a request under paragraph (1) the [ district judge] shall review his decision as to the item or items objected to and shall notify each party of his decision on the review and of his reasons for it.

Any party who is dissatisfied with the [ district judge’s] decision on the review may within 14 days apply to [^f2 the judge] to review the taxation as to the item or items to which the decision relates.

An application for a review under paragraph (4) shall be made on notice stating the nature and grounds of the applicant’s objection to the district judge’s decision.

Unless [ the judge] otherwise directs, no further evidence shall be received on the hearing of an application under paragraph (4), and no ground of objection shall be raised which has not been raised in the applicant’s notice.

On an application under this rule [ the judge] may make such order as the circumstances require and in particular may order the [ district judge’s] certificate of the taxation to be amended or, except where the dispute as to the item under review is as to amount only, order the item to be remitted to the [ district judge] for re-taxation.]
