District Court of Western Australia Act 1969

When a writ of certiorari or of prohibition addressed to the Court is granted by the Supreme Court or a judge thereof on an ex parte application, and the party who obtained it does not lodge it with the appropriate registrar of the Court, and give notice to the other party or parties to the cause or matter to which the writ relates that it has been issued, at least 3 days before the date fixed for the hearing of the cause or matter to which the writ relates, a District Court judge or the Court may order the party who obtained the writ to pay the costs of the day, or so much thereof as he thinks fit, unless the Supreme Court or a judge thereof has made some other order respecting the costs.
