When is a motion for retainer to be brought before the registrar where it belonged?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Ace Asphalt & Maintenance Ltd. v. Goodfellow MacKenzie, 1984 CanLII 792 (BC CA):

When the motion was made in the court below, the matter was before the registrar where it belonged. In Knott, Pollard & Morgan v. Offers, ante, p. 166, a decision rendered after the decision now under appeal, this court affirmed that it is for the registrar on the taxation to determine the matter of retainer. I see no reason to interfere with the registrar. He can decide that some or all of these accounts were interim and together constitute one bill, or that some of the accounts were final and now beyond the taxation provisions in the Act. Those are questions for him.
