Facts
The Respondent claimed that the bill of costs was taxed ex parte on June 16, 2006, but the Respondent's advocate did not attend court. The Respondent was served with a notice of taxation and a bill of costs on May 31, 2006, and was informed by the advocate that the bill of costs had not been cause listed.
Issues
