The Master held that the court had no jurisdiction on taxation to vary or revisit the statutory interest rate applicable to a costs order under s.49 Cap.4; interest on taxed costs runs from the date of the costs order and the taxing process is limited to quantifying costs. The claimed delay did not amount to inordinate or inexcusable dilatoriness warranting punitive sanctions affecting interest, so the Plaintiff's application to disallow or limit interest was dismissed.
