Disbursements in solicitors' bills bills
20. (1) Subject to the next succeeding sub-rule for taxation of a solicitor's
fees, charges and disbursements, a disbursement shall not be allowed which has
not been actually made before the delivery of the bill of costs.

(2) Where the bill expressly states that disbursements have not been made
before delivery of the bill and sets out the unpaid items of disbursement
under a separate heading in the bill, they may be allowed by the taxing
officer if they have been actually paid before the giving of the certificate
of taxation and are paid in discharge of an antecedent liability of the
solicitor, including counsels' fees, properly incurred on behalf of the
client.
