Taxation ruling in which the High Court at Musoma reduced the instruction fee, allowed attendance and drawing costs in part, and taxed the bill at Tshs 7,889,000/=.
The court found that the taxing officer acted on correct principles in taxing off transport costs due to lack of evidence of medical necessity, but erred in merging advocate's transport and attendance fees and in taxing off costs for attending the taxation cause. The instruction fee was properly taxed off due to lack of evidentiary support in the applicant's affidavit. The court exercised its discretion to increase the total awarded costs to Tshs. 654,000/=.
Source excerpt
The taxing master exercised discretion properly in awarding instruction fees and ancillary costs, except for minor errors in double taxation of transport and accommodation costs on consecutive days, which were rectified. Judicial certification for costs of more than one advocate was not present, but the taxing master only awarded costs for the senior advocate. Meal and accommodation costs are reimbursable if reasonable, even without receipts.
