Rules of court to provide for costs and fees, etc

(1) Rules of court may prescribe the costs and fees payable in proceedings in the court relating to persons of unsound mind and defectives and their estates, and regulate the mode in which they are to be ascertained and paid. (2) Except as otherwise provided by rules of court, the costs and fees payable in proceedings relating to unsoundness of mind shall be those provided in ordinary proceedings taken under the Supreme Court of Judicature Act, Cap. 91. (3) The costs, or a proper proportionate part thereof, as the case may require, shall be charged upon the estate of a person of unsound mind or defective, and be payable there out, although before payment thereof he dies, or the inquisition be superseded, or be vacated and discharged on a traverse, but in either of the two last-mentioned cases the court may, if it thinks fit, remit or reduce the amount of the sum to be paid.
