The application to tax was dismissed because the 16.2.2023 order fixing costs was a final order made after hearing; the proper recourse was leave to appeal under established authority (Ng King Chong). Order 1A and Order 92 r.4 do not authorize taxation of a final fixed costs order absent injustice or abuse, and s.68(1)(c) CJA reserves costs to the court's discretion; accordingly the taxation application was improper and constituted an abuse of process.
