Fees and expenses of examiners of the court14

The examiner's fees and expenses must be paid by the party who obtained the order for examination.

If the fees and expenses due to an examiner are not paid within a reasonable time, the examiner may report that fact to the court.

The court may order the party who obtained the order for examination to deposit in the court office a specified sum in respect of the examiner's fees and, where it does so, the examiner shall not be asked to act until the sum has been deposited.
