20 Costs

Where costs are awarded by any tribunal mentioned in the Constitution the Supreme Court may, on the application of the party against whom they have been awarded – where costs have been fixed by the tribunal, review its award and substitute for the sum thereby awarded – such sum as it thinks proper; or costs to be taxed by the taxing officer in accordance with such scale as the Court directs; and where the tribunal's award is based on a bill of costs, order that bill to be taxed by the taxing officer in accordance with such scale as the Court directs and the amount allowed on taxation to be substituted for the amount payable under the award of the tribunal.

If the special tribunal or the appellate tribunal mentioned in the Constitution awards costs pursuant to a power prescribed under section 59 (2) of the Constitution, its award may, by leave of the Supreme Court, and subject to subsection (1) of this section, be enforced in the same manner as a judgment or order to the same effect.
