Note If costs are payable out of a fund or estate, or out of the assets of a
company in liquidation, and the bill of costs is reduced by 15% or
more on assessment, the registrar must not allow the solicitor
whose costs are assessed the costs of preparing the bill or attending
the assessment, unless the registrar otherwise orders (see r 1834
(Costs—bill of costs reduced by 15%)).
