17. Where a party entitled to costs refuses or neglects to bring in his costs
for taxation or to procure them to be taxed, the taxing officer may, so as to
prevent another party being prejudiced by the refusal or neglect-

   (b)  allow a nominal or other sum to the party refusing or neglecting to
        bring in his costs.
