Taxation of a bill of costs is a proceeding within the meaning of the Limitation Act, but the petition was not time‑barred because the claimant took reasonable steps (initial filing at the Court of Appeal and reliance on interlocutory proceedings and CoA directions) within the limitation window; the Deputy Registrar’s global approach to taxation was mostly correct for ancillary petitions but underestimated the extent, difficulty and volume of work for JS837 — the High Court substituted an increased taxed amount and allowed interest at 5% p.a. from 16.1.2019 until full payment.
