164. Witnesses’ expenses

The Court of Appeal may, whether or not they exercise their powers under section 62 or 63, order the payment out of public funds of such sums as appear to the court reasonably sufficient to compensate any person properly attending to give evidence on an appeal under this Part or any proceedings preliminary or incidental thereto (whether or not he gives evidence) for the expenses, trouble or loss of time properly incurred in or incidental to his attendance.

The amount of any costs ordered to be paid under this section shall be ascertained as soon as practicable by the Registrar.
