Supreme Court Rules 2000

If a practitioner acts in any proceeding as the litigation guardian of a person under disability, the Court or a judge may – direct that any costs incurred in the performance of the duties of guardian be paid – by a party to the proceeding; or out of any fund in Court in which the person under disability is interested; and give directions for the repayment or allowance of those costs.

If a practitioner acts without an order as litigation guardian of a person under disability, the costs incurred in the performance of the duties as guardian are in the discretion of the Court or judge.
