s 60Costs of Government

Nothing in the Act shall affect the right, which is hereby declared, of the Government when represented by any of such persons as are mentioned in section 20(1)(a) to recover costs awarded to it in or respecting any cause or matter. In any such cause or matter the costs of the Government shall be taxed in accordance with any rules in force for the time being for the taxation of the fees and costs of advocates and solicitors as if an advocate and solicitor of the Supreme Court who is not in the service of the Government had appeared on behalf of the Government.
