41 Power of Supreme Court on application for adjudication
The Supreme Court's power to adjudicate and settle a bill (but no other power of the Court under this clause) may, subject to any rule, order or direction of the Court, be exercised by the Registrar of the
Court.
Subject to the rules of the Supreme Court, an appeal lies to an
Associate Justice against a decision of the Registrar pursuant to subclause (1).
If an application for adjudication of legal costs has been made in accordance with this Part, the Supreme Court may—
restrain a person claiming to be entitled to the costs from commencing an action for recovery of the costs; or
stay any proceedings for recovery of the costs.
The Supreme Court may, on adjudication of a bill under this
Part—
order the refund of any amount overpaid; or
if the proceedings have been instituted by the person seeking recovery of the costs—order payment of legal costs in accordance with the adjudicated bill.
