(1)Crown Court Rules may authorise the Crown Court to award costs and may regulate any matters relating to costs of proceedings in that court, and in particular may make provision as to—
(a)any discretion to award costs ;
(b)the taxation of costs, or the fixing of a sum instead of directing a taxation, and as to the officer of the court or other person by whom costs are to be taxed ;
(c)a right of appeal from any decision on the taxation of costs, whether to a Taxing Master of the Supreme Court or to any other officer or authority ;
(d)a right of appeal to the High Court, subject to any conditions specified in the rules, from any decision on an appeal brought by virtue of paragraph (c);
(e)the enforcement of an order for costs; and
(f)the charges or expenses or other disbursements which are to be treated as costs for the purposes of the rules.
(2)The costs to be dealt with by rules made in pursuance of this section may, where an appeal is brought to the Crown Court from the decision of a magistrates' court, or from the decision of any other court or tribunal, include costs in the proceedings in that court or tribunal.
(3)Nothing in this section authorises the making of rules about the payment of costs out of central funds, whether under the [1973 c. 14.] Costs in Criminal Cases Act 1973 or otherwise, but rules made in pursuance of this section may make any such provision as is contained in section 4 of that Act (awards by Crown Court as between parties).
(4)Rules made in pursuance of this section may amend or repeal all or any of the provisions of any enactment about costs between party and party in criminal or other proceedings in the Crown Court, being an enactment passed before, or contained in, the Costs in Criminal Cases Act 1973.
