If the court considers such a claim to be appropriate, it may—

a

summarily assess the costs; or

b

make an order for the costs to be subject to detailed assessment.

3

If the court does not consider the claim to be appropriate, it will make an order—

a

if the claim is made by the claimant, for the fixed recoverable costs; or

b

if the claim is made by the defendant, for a sum which has regard to, but which does not exceed the fixed recoverable costs,

and any permitted disbursements only.
