High Court upholds the taxation of legal costs by the County Registrar, which significantly reduced the fees claimed by the plaintiff's legal team following a personal injury judgment, dismissing the plaintiff's assertion that the District Court Rules Committee and the County Registrar acted beyond their powers and in breach of statute, and finding that the scale of fees applied was within the exceptions allowed by statute and did not infringe the plaintiff's constitutional right of access to the courts.
